Mouse anti Pig CD31:Biotin

Description:

Mouse anti pig CD31, clone LCI-4 recognizes porcine CD31, also known as Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1). CD31 is constitutively expressed by platelets, monocytes and some lymphocytes, it is expressed by endothelial cells at a level, an order of magnitude greater that of other cell types. The extracellular region contains six Ig-like domains. Mouse anti pig CD31, clone LCI-4 is cross reactive with human CD31 and binds to the 5^th extracellular Ig domain, proximal to the transmembrane region as demonstrated by human CD31 domain deletion mutants.
Mouse anti pig CD31, clone LCI-4 immunoprecipitates a protein of ~130 kDa from lysates of porcine aortic endothelial cells and is strongly expressed at cell junctions.
