01MT05789

Clone REA697 recognizes the rat CD146 (LSEC) antigen, also known as Gicerin, MCAM, MUC18, or MEL-CAM. CD146 is a putative cell adhesion molecule of an immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily which shows homophilic and heterophilic binding activities with two isoforms: S-gicerin, which has small cytoplasmic domain and the same extracellular domain as l-gicerin, shows stronger cell adhesion activity. CD146 is expressed on endothelial cells and a variety of tumor cells and is involved in cell adhesion and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue.
