MyBioSource.com's CD166 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, and Western Blot. The CD166 Antibody was generated using ALCAM as the antigen and it reacts with Human, and Mouse.
Description
Function: Cell adhesion molecule that mediates both heterotypic cell-cell contacts via its interaction with CD6, as well as homotypic cell-cell contacts (PubMed:7760007, PubMed:15496415, PubMed:15048703, PubMed:16352806, PubMed:23169771, PubMed:24945728). Promotes T-cell activation and proliferation via its interactions with CD6 (PubMed:15048703, PubMed:16352806, PubMed:24945728). Contributes to the formation and maturation of the immunological synapse via its interactions with CD6 (PubMed:15294938, PubMed:16352806). Mediates homotypic interactions with cells that express ALCAM (PubMed:15496415, PubMed:16352806). Required for normal hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in the bone marrow (PubMed:24740813). Mediates attachment of dendritic cells onto endothelial cells via homotypic interaction (PubMed:23169771). Inhibits endothelial cell migration and promotes endothelial tube formation via homotypic interactions (PubMed:15496415, PubMed:23169771). Required for normal organization of the lymph vessel network. Required for normal hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in the bone marrow. Plays a role in hematopoiesis; required for normal numbers of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow. Promotes in vitro osteoblast proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). Promotes neurite extension, axon growth and axon guidance; axons grow preferentially on surfaces that contain ALCAM. Mediates outgrowth and pathfinding for retinal ganglion cell axons (By similarity).
Subunit Structure: Homodimer (PubMed:7760007, PubMed:16352806, PubMed:15048703, PubMed:26146185). Interacts (via extracellular domain) with CD6 (via extracellular domain) (PubMed:7760007, PubMed:8823162, PubMed:15048703, PubMed:16914752, PubMed:24945728, PubMed:26146185). Homodimerization and interaction with CD6 involve the same region and cannot occur simultaneously. The affinity for CD6 is much higher than the affinity for self-association (PubMed:15048703). Interacts (via glycosylated extracellular domain) with LGALS1 and LGALS3 (PubMed:24945728). Interaction with LGALS1 or LGALS3 inhibits interaction with CD6 (PubMed:24945728).
Post-translational Modifications: Glycosylated.
Similarity: The CD6 binding site is located in the N-terminal Ig-like domain
