Anti-CD103 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the CD103 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the ITGAE gene, which encodes integrin subunit alpha E. This protein is known to function in cell adhesion and cell matrix adhesion, among other biological roles. The human version of CD103 has a canonical amino acid length of 1179 residues and a protein mass of 130.2 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells and notably expressed in the skin. The CD103 marker has been described in the characterization of Dendritic Cells, CD8+ Resident Memory T Cells, Type 1 Dendritic (DC) Cells, Type 2 Dendritic (DC2) Cells, and Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells.* This target antigen may also be known as HUMINAE.
