CD52 Antibody, anti-human, APC, REAfinity™

01MT01187

Clone REA164 recognizes CD52, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored, 25–29 kDa heavily glycosylated antigen. The CD52 core peptide is only 12 amino acids long and is linked to the surface via C-terminal GPI anchor. Expression of CD52 is found on lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, and in the male reproductive tract on the epithelial cells of the epididymis and seminal vesicle. CD52 is absent in immature spermatozoa in the efferent ducts but is acquired by the sperm membrane, progressively, as they pass through the epididymis proper, where CD52 is shed into the seminal pla
