Anti-Endothelial Cell Protein C Receptor antibody, Rat monoclonal

General description

Anti-endothelial cell protein C receptor antibody, rat monoclonal (EPCR) (rat IgG1 isotype) is derived from the RCR-252 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse SP2/0 myeloma cells and cells isolated from the superficial inguinal lymph nodes from Wister rats immunized with human EPCR-positive RE-1 cells. Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), also known as activated protein C receptor (APC receptor) is a protein encoded by the PROCR gene in humans. It is predominantly expressed in endothelial. The EPCR is also expressed in small vessels such as capillaries of the alveolar wall in the lung. EPCR is a member of the CD1/major histocompatibility complex superfamily.

Immunogen

human EPCR-positive RE-1 cells.

Application

Anti-endothelial cell protein C receptor antibody, rat monoclonal has been used in flow cytometry (FACS analysis) and in blocking the binding of the antigen presenting cell (APC) ligand to the EPCR.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) is involved in regulation of the cytoprotective and anticoagulant pathways of protein C. EPCR plays an important role in regulating the inflammatory response. It is also identified as an endothelial receptor for specific P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) subtypes. EPCR is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Physical form
