CD301a (MGL1) Antibody, anti-mouse, Biotin, REAfinity™

01MT04971

Clone REA581 recognizes the mouse CD301a antigen, a type II transmembrane glycoprotein also known as macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin-1 (MGL1). CD301 has two genes, CD301a and CD301b, which are highly homologous. In contrast to CD301b, that recognizes N-acetylgalactosamine and galactose, including the O-linked Tn antigen, TF antigen, and core 2, CD301a is highly specific for Lewis X and Lewis A structures. It has been suggested that MGL1 is involved in the clearance of apoptotic cells. CD301a is expressed in alternatively activated macrophages.Additional information: Clone REA581 displ
