CD44H Monoclonal / FITC / REA505
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA505 recognizes the rat CD44H antigen, a transmembrane glycoprotein, also known as homing-associated cell adhesion molecule (H-CAM) or phagocytic glycoprotein-1 (Pgp-1). CD44H belongs to the CD44 group, that encompasses several isoforms expressed in a variety of tissues. It is highly expressed on hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. All isoforms are encoded by the same gene on chromosome 11 and are formed by alternative splicing of their mRNA. CD44 isoforms belong to the family of cell adhesion molecules and to the sub-family of the hyaladherins in consideration of their affinity for hyaluronate and their structural homology with the cartilage link protein. The standard form of CD44, CD44H, exhibits a high affinity for hyaluronate, plays a role in the uptake and degradation of this glycosaminoglycan, and participates in cell locomotion in its presence. | Additional information: Clone REA505 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
