CD68 Antibody, anti-mouse, APC, REAfinity™

01MT07337

Clone REA835 recognizes mouse CD68 antigen, also known as macrosialin, which is a heavily glycosylated type I transmembrane protein of the lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP) family. It is expressed on tissue macrophages, Langerhans cells, and at a low density on dendritic cells. Murine CD68 is predominantly intracellular but it is reported that 10–15% of CD68 is expressed on the cell surface as well. Macrosialin functions as a macrophage receptor for oxidized low density lipoprotein. Additional information: Clone REA835 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
