General Notes
Mouse anti Human CD10 antibody, clone 56C6 recognizes human Neprilysin, also known as CD10, Atriopeptidase, Common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen (CALLA), Enkephalinase, Neutral endopeptidase 24.11, Neutral endopeptidase or Skin fibroblast elastase. CD10 is a 749 amino acid, ~100 kDa single pass type II transmembrane glycoprotein, expressed on a variety of cell types including immature and germinal centre B cells, lymphoblastic leukaemia cells and also on the brush border of kidney epithelial cells.Mutations in the MME gene (encoding CD10) are involved in the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2T (CMT2T), a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, demonstrating progerssive peripheral muscle weakness and atrophy (Higuchi et al. 2016). Mutations of the MME gene can also lead to Spinocerebellar ataxia 43 (SCA43) characterized by a progressive loss of gait coordination along with hand, speech and eye coordination. Degeneration of the cerebellum, with variable involvement of the brain stem and spinal cord are apparent in this slow progressive autosomal dominant form of the disease (Depondt et al. 2016).
