CD68 Antibody, anti-mouse, PE

01MT16382

The monoclonal antibody FA-11 recognizes mouse CD68, also known as macrosialin, which is a heavily glycosylated type I transmembrane protein of the LAMP (lysosomal-associated membrane protein) 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.
