Description
Product Characteristics: Human CD31 (130-140 kDa) is an adhesion molecule expressed on platelets, endothelial cells, leukocytes and their bone marrow precursors. CD31 plays a role in homophilic adhesion and heterophilic transendothelial migration. Antibody TP1/15 reacts with domain 1 of CD31 and blocks homophilic interaction and heterophilic transendothelial migration. Expressed diffusely by monocytes, neutrophils, and NK cells. Expressed on subsets of T cells.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is found on the surface of platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and some types of T-cells, and makes up a large portion of endothelial cell intercellular junctions. The encoded protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is likely involved in leukocyte migration, angiogenesis, and integrin activation. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
