TSPAN8 Monoclonal / APC-Vio770 / REA443

Product Details

Description	Clone REA443 recognizes the human tetraspanin-8 (TSPAN8) antigen, a multi-pass membrane protein which is also known as transmembrane 4 superfamily member 3 (TM4SF3) or tumor-associated antigen CO-029. TSPAN8 is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, which is a group of cell surface glycoproteins that contain four transmembrane domains and two conserved extracellular loops. Tetraspanins interact and form complexes with a wide variety of proteins, including other members of the tetraspanin family, integrins, receptors, and signaling molecules. Through these interactions, they play important roles in fundamental cellular processes such as migration, proliferation, and differentiation. It is suggested that TSPAN8 is widely expressed in various tissues, including in the digestive tract, connective tissue, bone, muscle, and kidney. TSPAN8 has also been intensively studied in the field of cancer. It has been shown to be highly expressed in colorectal, hepatocellular, and pancreatic carcinoma cells along with integrin family proteins. Several studies have suggested that TSPAN8 is also involved in the migration and invasion of cancer cells. \| Additional information: Clone REA443 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About TSPAN8
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 gene is expressed in different carcinomas. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

About APC-Vio770
APC-Vio®770 from Miltenyi is a tandem fluorophore with APC as the donor and has an excitation peak at 652 nm and an emission peak at 775 nm, and is spectrally similar to APC-Cy® 7 (GE Healthcare) APC-H7 (BD Biosciences), APC-eFluor™ 780 (ThermoFisher Scientific), APC-Vio®770 (Miltenyi Biotec), and APC-Fire™ 750 (BioLegend). The Vio® dye family are products of Miltenyi Biotec, with many antibody conjugates designed and validated for flow cytometry.
