ANTI-HUMAN CD36 (CB38) COLORWHEEL DYE-READY MAB

General description

ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Target description

Platelet glycoprotein 4 (UniProt: P16671; also known as Fatty acid translocase, FAT, Glycoprotein IIIb, GPIIIB, Leukocyte differentiation antigen CD36, PAS IV, PAS-4, Platelet collagen receptor, Platelet glycoprotein IV, GPIV, Thrombospondin receptor, CD36) is encoded by the CD36 (also known as GP3B, GP4) gene (Gene ID: 948) in human. CD36 is a multi-pass membrane glycoprotein that contains two cytoplasmic domains (aa 2-7 and 462-472), one extracellular domain (aa 30-439), and two transmembrane domains (aa 8-29 and 440-461). It acts as a receptor for a broad range of ligands that can be of proteinaceous nature like thrombospondin, fibronectin, collagen, and amyloid-beta or of lipidic nature, such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), anionic phospholipids, long-chain fatty acids and bacterial diacylated lipopeptides. They are generally multivalent and can engage multiple receptors simultaneously. The resulting formation of CD36 clusters initiates signal transduction and internalization of receptor-ligand complexes. Cellular responses to these ligands are involved in angiogenesis, inflammatory response, fatty acid metabolism, and dietary fat processing in the intestine. It binds long-chain fatty acids and facilitates their transport into cells. In taste receptor cells, CD36 is reported to mediate an increase in intracellular calcium levels by long-chain fatty acids, leading to the activation of the gustatory neurons. Upon binding of oxLDL or amyloid peptide 42, it interacts with the TLR4:TLR6 heterodimer and the complex is then internalized and triggers inflammatory response, leading to NF-kB-dependent production of several cytokines. Mutations in CD36 gene are associated with Platelet glycoprotein IV deficiency that is characterized by macrothrombocytopenia.

Physical form

Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.

Reconstitution

1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of PBS. Protect from light.
