CD106 Monoclonal / APC / 429 (MVCAM.A)

Product Details

Description	Clone 429 (MVCAM.A) recognizes the mouse CD106 antigen, a 110 kDa single chain type I glycoprotein, also known as vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1). CD106 is expressed on bone marrow stromal cells and inflamed vascular endothelium as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflamed tissue. Upregulation of CD106 in endothelial cells by inflammatory stimuli and cytokines occurs as a result of increased gene transcription. Primarily, CD106 is an endothelial ligand for very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) or integrin alpha-4/beta-7 and mediates both adhesion and signal transduction. The interactions play a pathophysiologic role in leukocyte adhesion, transmigration, and co-stimulation of T cell proliferation.

About CD106
This gene is a member of the Ig superfamily and encodes a cell surface sialoglycoprotein expressed by cytokine-activated endothelium. This type I membrane protein mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction, and may play a role in the development of artherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Three alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

About APC
Allophycocyanin (APC) is a fluorescent protein derived from cyanobacteria and red algae and a potent donor fluorophore to create tandem dyes that can be excited off the 633-640 nm laser. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and a emission peak at 660 nm.
