01MT01189

Clone REA139 recognizes murine GARP, a 80 KDa type I membrane glycoprotein which belongs to the family of leucine rich repeat proteins. Expression of GARP protein is found on megakaryocytes and platelets. Activated GARP has been found to be associated with latency associated peptide (LAP), the prodomain responsible for conferring latency to nonactive TGFβ. Thus, GARP as a latent TGFβ binding protein (LTBP) regulates the surface expression of TGFβ and serves as a carrier of LAP, at the cell surface, to immune response active sites, where TGFβ is eventually activated and released to exert furthe
