About CD62L
This gene encodes a cell surface adhesion molecule that belongs to a family of adhesion/homing receptors. The encoded protein contains a C-type lectin-like domain, a calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like domain, and two short complement-like repeats. The gene product is required for binding and subsequent rolling of leucocytes on endothelial cells, facilitating their migration into secondary lymphoid organs and inflammation sites. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with various diseases including immunoglobulin A nephropathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

About StarBright UltraViolet 740
StarBright UltraViolet 740 (SBUV740) is a fluorescent polymer nanoparticle that has an excitation peak at 344 nm and an emission peak at 743 nm, spectrally comparable to BUV737. The StarBright family fluorophores from Bio-Rad offers an alternative to the Horizon Brilliant™ polymer series from BD Biosciences including Brilliant™ UV and Brilliant™ Violet. StarBright UV 740 is spectrally equivalent to BUV737.
