CD81 / Biotin / REA513

Product Details

Description	Clone REA513 recognizes the human CD81 antigen, a multi-pass membrane protein also known as TAPA-1. It is a member of the tetraspanin family including, for example, CD9, CD37, CD53, CD63, CD82, and CD151. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth, and motility. The 26 kDa cell surface protein is involved in adhesion, activation, proliferation, and differentiation of B cells, T cells, and other cells. On B cells CD81 is part of a complex with CD21, CD19, and Leu13. Similarly on T cells CD81 associates with CD4 and CD8 and provides a costimulatory signal with CD3. CD81 is expressed by epithelial and endothelial cells, T and B cells, as well as natural killer (NK) cells. \| Additional information: Clone REA513 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About CD81
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. This protein appears to promote muscle cell fusion and support myotube maintenance. Also it may be involved in signal transduction. This gene is localized in the tumor-suppressor gene region and thus it is a candidate gene for malignancies. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
