CD44 Mouse anti-Human, APC, Clone: G44-26 (also known as C26), BD, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

The G44-26 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the 80-95 kDa, glycosylated type I transmembrane protein, also known as phagocytic glycoprotein-1 (Pgp-1). CD44 is the receptor for hyaluronic acid. CD44 is expressed on leucocytes, erythrocytes, epithelial cells and weakly on platelets. CD44 is also called extracellular matrix receptor type III and has functional roles in cell migration, lymphocyte homing and adhesion during hematopoiesis and lymphocyte activation. This antibody is suitable for staining formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections using citrate buffer pretreatment. This antibody recognizes the epitope 1 of CD44 antigen according to the HLDA workshop studies.
