Rabbit Anti-stabilin1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Stabilin-1 is a large transmembrane receptor protein which may function in angiogenesis, lymphocyte homing, cell adhesion, or receptor scavenging. The protein contains 7 fasciclin, 16 epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like, and 2 laminin-type EGF-like domains as well as a SLCtype lectin-like hyaluronan-binding Link module. The protein is primarily expressed on sinusoidal endothelial cells of liver, spleen, and lymph node. The receptor has been shown to endocytose ligands such as low density lipoprotein, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and advanced glycosylation end products. Supporting its possible role as a scavenger receptor, the protein rapidly cycles between the plasma membrane and early endosomes.
Function:
Acts as a scavenger receptor for acetylated low density lipoprotein. Binds to both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and may play a role in defense against bacterial infection. When inhibited in endothelial tube formation assays, there is a marked decrease in cell-cell interactions, suggesting a role in angiogenesis. Involved in the delivery of newly synthesized CHID1/SI-CLP from the biosynthetic compartment to the endosomal/lysosomal system.
Subunit:
Interacts with CHID1.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
High levels found in spleen, lymph node, liver and placenta. Also expressed in endothelial cells.
Similarity:
Contains 16 EGF-like domains.
Contains 7 FAS1 domains.
Contains 2 laminin EGF-like domains.
Contains 1 Link domain.
