MONOCLONAL ANTI-CD63 ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN MOUSE

General description

Cluster of differentiation 63 (CD63), also known as melanoma 1 antigen, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 12q13.2. The encoded protein belongs to the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF). CD63 is an integral membrane glycoprotein expressed in late endosomes and lysosomes and is also present in the platelet dense granule membrane.

The antibody MEM-259 reacts with CD63 (LAMP-3), a 40-60 kDa tetraspan glycoprotein expressed by granulocytes, platelets, T cells, monocytes/macrophages and endothelial cells. Cell surface exposition of CD63 is usually activation-dependent.

Immunogen

HPB-ALL T cell line

Application

Monoclonal Anti-CD63 antibody produced in mouse has been used in flow cytometry and confocal imaging.

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis. Suggested working dilution for Flow Cytometry is 2 μg/mL of sample. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cluster of differentiation 63 (CD63) is one of the platelet activation marker, which plays a vital role in platelet aggregation, adhesion to collagen, uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in vitro and regulation of angiogenesis. Inadequate expression of CD63 results in the autosomal recessive inherited disorder, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. CD63 is associated with various cellular functions, such as cellular adhesion, cell differentiation, migration, carcinogenesis and tumor progression. CD63 is highly expressed in the initial stage of Merkel cell carcinoma and decreased in later stages; therefore, CD63 is considered to be a potential prognostic factor for this malignancy.
