Anti-CD63 Antibody [NKI-C3] (A115614)

Anti-CD63 Antibody [NKI-C3]

Mouse monoclonal [NKI-C3] antbody to CD63.

This antibody binds a predominantly intracellular protein of Human melanoma cells. The antigen is abundantly present in malignant melanomas, nevocellular nevi, and neuroendocrine tumors, whereas it has not been detectable in most other tissues. The antigen is a glycoprotein which appears as a broad band in SDS-PAGE and was shown to consist of a single protein backbone to which two or three. V-linked glycans were added cotranslationally. Extensive further heterogeneity was generated in the Golgi compartment and was shown to be dependent on the presence of complex type sugars. Although the antigen is associated with melanomas, it was not codistributed with the tyrosinase activity associated with melanogenesis. The antigen did show codistribution with Cathepsin D, which is a marker for lysosomal functions. NKI/C3 originally was described as a marker for melanoma. Recently, it resurfaced as a marker to sepaRate cellular neurothekeoma from other dermal tumors in the differential diagnosis.
