Mouse anti Bovine CD63

Description:

Mouse anti bovine CD63 antibody, clone CC25 recognizes the bovine homologue of human CD63, a 237 amino acid multipass transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the tetraspanin TM4SF protein family with a predicted molecular weight of ~26 kDa. CD63 is also known as lysosome associated membrane glycoprotein 3 or LAMP-3.

CD63 along with other TM4SF members including CD9, CD61 and CD151 can form specific interactions with phosphoinositide 4-kinase, suggesting a role for CD63 in the recruitment of phosphoinositide 4-kinase to specific membrane sites. CD63 is expressed on the cell surface of platelets and basophils, along with activated macrophages, monocytes and granulocytes.

Mouse anti Bovine CD63, clone CC25 acts as a specific marker for bovine lysozomes and has been used for the identification and quantitation of phagosome-lysozome fusion in models of bacterial insult.
