CD63 Monoclonal / Biotin / REA444
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA444 recognizes the rat CD63 antigen, a multi-pass membrane protein which is also known as mast cell antigen AD1 or melanoma antigen ME491. CD63 is located on the basophilic granule membranes in resting basophils, mast cells, and platelets, and is also located on the plasma membranes of these cells. It is also found on rat embryonic fibroblasts and hepatic cell. CD63 belongs to the tetraspanin transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) of proteins, which are characterized by four membrane spanning domains. Tetraspanins, via various homotypic and heterotypic interactions, regulate the spatial location and trafficking of associated transmembrane partners, eventually regulating and co-ordinating various signaling pathways. CD63 functions as cell surface receptor for TIMP1 and plays a role in the activation of cellular signaling cascades. It promotes cell survival, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, spreading, and migration. | Additional information: Clone REA444 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

About CD63
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. The encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. It may function as a blood platelet activation marker. Deficiency of this protein is associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Also this gene has been associated with tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
