Anti-CD63 Antibody [MEM-259] (A281145)

Anti-CD63 Antibody [MEM-259]

Mouse monoclonal [MEM-259] antibody to CD63.

This antibody recognises the CD63 cell surface antigen, also known as granulophysin, lysozomal associated membrane protein 3 (LAMP-3), Melanoma-associated antigen ME491, Ocular melanoma-associated antigen or tetraspanin-30. CD63 is a 238 amino acid, tetraspanin glycoprotein of ~40-60 kDa.CD63 is expressed by monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells where it is a component of Weibel-Palade bodies and by a variety of cell lines. It is located intracellularly in lysosomal granules of platelets, being translocated to the surface upon activation. It may therefore by useful as a marker of platelet activation. CD63 expression is also associated with melanoma development and expression is rapidly down-regulated by progesterone in endometrial tissues.

Mouse anti Human CD63 antibody, clone MEM-259 recognizes the CD63 cell surface antigen, also known as granulophysin, lysozomal associated membrane protein 3 (LAMP-3), Melanoma-associated antigen ME491, Ocular melanoma-associated antigen or tetraspanin-30. CD63 is a 238 amino acid, tetraspanin glycoprotein of ~40-60 kDa.CD63 is expressed by monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells where it is a component of Weibel-Palade bodies (Vischer et al. 1993) and by a variety of cell lines. It is located intracellularly in lysosomal granules of platelets, being translocated to the surface upon activation. It may therefore by useful as a marker of platelet activation (Hamamoto et al. 1994). CD63 expression is also associated with melanoma development (Radford et al. 1997) and expression is rapidly down-regulated by progesterone in endometrial tissues (Okada et al. 1999).
