Rabbit Anti-CD53/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The CD53 antigen is a member of the tetraspanin membrane protein family that is expressed in the lymphoid-myeloid lineage. The tetraspanin superfamily (CD9, CD37, CD53, CD63, CD81 and CD82) comprises a group of cell-surface proteins that are involved in cell activation and signal transduction as well as in cell adhesion, motility and metastasis. Tetraspanin transmembrane proteins have a metastasis suppressor effect by acting as cell motility brakes in tumor cells. Human neutrophils express high levels of CD53, an N-glycosylated pan-leukocyte antigen and the true homolog of the rat MRSLCOX-44 antigen. CD53 is expressed on B cells, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, single (CD4 or CD8) positive thymocytes and peripheral T cells.
Function:
Required for efficient formation of myofibers in regenerating muscle at the level of cell fusion. May be involved in growth regulation in hematopoietic cells (By similarity).
Subunit:
Interacts with SCIMP.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
B-cells, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, single (CD4 or CD8) positive thymocytes and peripheral T-cells.
Similarity:
Belongs to the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family.
