CD87 Antibody, anti-human, APC

01MT16331

Clone VIM5 recognizes CD87, a 36–38 kDa GPI-anchored cell-surface receptor. CD87, also known uPAR, binds uPA and thus facilitating the catalytic C domain of the uPA to come in close proximity of membrane bound plasminogen. uPA is a serine protease, which converts plasminogen into plasmin which in-turn is involved in digestion of various extracellular matrix proteins. CD87 belongs to the Ly6/neurotoxin receptor family and consists of three disulfide-bonded homologous domains, D1, D2, and D3. Function of uPAR is modulated by two inhibitors, PA1 and PA2. The expression of membrane-bound CD87 is f
