General description
CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing protein 6 (UniProt: Q9NX76; also known as Chemokine-like factor superfamily member 6, CMTM6) is encoded by the CMTM6 gene (Gene ID: 54918) in human. CMTM6 is a ubiquitously expressed, multi-pass membrane protein of the family of MARVEL domain-containing proteins with 3 cytoplasmic domains, 4 transmembrane domains, and 2 extracellular domains. Its MARVEL domain is localized in amino acids 33-160. It serves as a master regulator of recycling and plasma membrane expression of PD-L1. It binds to PD-L1 and maintains its cell surface expression. Although it is not required for PD-L1 maturation, but it co-localizes with PD-L1 at the plasma membrane and in recycling endosomes, where it prevents PD-L1 from being targeted for lysosome-mediated degradation by preventing its STUB-1 mediated ubiquitination. It also stabilizes PD-L1 expression on antigen presenting cells and potentiates inhibitory signaling by PD-1 (CD279), ultimately triggering T-cell anergy. It enhances the ability of PD-L1-expressing tumor cells to inhibit T cell activity. (Ref.: Burr, ML., et al. (2017). Nature. 549(7670); 101-105; Mezzadra, R., et al. (2017).

Specificity
Clone RCT6 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects human CMTM6. It targets an epitope within the C-terminal region.
Immunogen
A linear peptide corresponding to a sequence from the C-terminal region of human CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing protein 6 (CMTM6).
Application
Quality Control Testing
Evaluated by Western blotting in lysates from 8505c cells overexpressing CMTM6.
Western Blotting Analysis (WB): A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected CMTM6 in lysates from 8505C cells overexpressing CMTM6, but not in knockout or untransfected cells.
Tested Applications
Immunohistochemistry Applications: A representative lot detected CMTM6 in Immunohistochemistry applications (Mezzadra, R., et al. (2017). Nature. 549(7670):106-110).
Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
