CD196 (CCR6) Antibody, anti-human, PE, REAfinity™

01MT04408

Clone REA190 recognizes CD196 (CCR6), a seven transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor, which belongs to the family of beta chemokine receptors. Expression of CD196 is found on T cells, naive and memory B cells, and immature dendritic cells (DCs). CD196 selectivly binds chemokine MIP-3α/CCL20, which is secreted by a number of cells and tissues. In addition, members of a family of small cationic antimicrobial peptides, such as human β-defensins (hBD)-1 and -2, which are released by epithelial cells in response to microbial invasion or proinflammatory stimuli, are also shown to bind to CCR6.
