CD36 Antibody

SKU: orb2639470

Description

Recognizes a protein of 80kDa-90kDa, identified as CD36. It is expressed on platelets, monocytes and macrophages, microvascular endothelial cells, erythrocyte precursors, mammary epithelial cells, and some macrophage derived dendritic cells. CD36 acts as a receptor for thrombospondin (TSP), collagen types I, IV and V, P. falciparum malaria-infected erythrocytes, and sickle erythrocytes. It also functions as a scavenger receptor, mediating macrophage uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and recognition of apoptotic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). CD36 plays a role in platelet aggregation, macrophage foam cell development, inflammation, and the tissue ischemia observed in sickle cell disease and cerebral malaria. Note that 1-4% of Japanese and East Asia population lack CD36.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: FACS, Functional Studies, IF
• Dilution Range: Functional studies (order BSA/sodium azide-free format),Flow cytometry: 0.5-1ug/million cells,Immunofluorescence: 0.5-1ug/ml
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  This mAb blocks adhesion of P. falciparum parasitized red blood cells to CD36 and strongly inhibits collagen-induced platelet aggregation.Optimal dilution of the CD36 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
