CD71 / APC / OX-26

Product Details

Description	CD71 is a transferrin receptor on the cell surface that mediates the uptake of transferrin-iron complexes, thereby mediating cellular proliferation1. CD71 is a homodimeric glycoprotein containing 760 amino acids and it binds to diferric transferrin2. Binding by diferric transfferin causes CD71 to be internalized, and diferric iron is subsequently released3. CD71 is highly expressed on malignant cells, as iron uptake is necessary for aberrant cell proliferation4.

About CD71
This gene encodes a cell surface receptor necessary for cellular iron uptake by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. This receptor is required for erythropoiesis and neurologic development. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

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.
