Rabbit Anti-MD1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
MD1 is a 28 kDa molecule that is associated at the cell surface with RP105 (CD36). RP105 is a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) molecule that is expressed on B lymphocytes. It was first identified by a mAb that protects spleen B cells from irradiation-induced apoptosis. LRR proteins, such as Toll receptors, have a role in innate immunity. MD1 is primarily expressed by B cells, dendritic cells and monocytes, and promotes the recognition of, and subsequent signaling by LPS in the innate immune system. MD1 does not have any homology to other molecules. MD1 when expressed alone behaves as a secretory protein. Expression of MD1 in a cell increases the expression of RP105.
Function:
May cooperate with CD36 and TLR4 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokine production. Important for efficient CD36 cell surface expression.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted. extracellular space. Associated with CD36 at the cell surface.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in B-cells, monocytes and tonsil.
