Description:
Anti-CD63, clone RFAC4
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Specificity:
This antibody reacts with a 53 kDa protein which form a part of the family of tetraspan moieties. The antigen was originally designated as a lysosomal membrane protein characterized as an activation dependent platelet surface antigen. In fact the CD63 antigen has a diverse distribution on the surface and in the cytoplasm of many cell types including lymphoid, myeloid, endothelial cells and melanoma.
Clone:
RFAC4
Isotype:
IgG1
Species Reactivity:
Human
Application Notes:
Flow cytometric studies of CD63 expression
Immunoprecipitation
Western blotting of CD63 antigen from solubilized platelet proteins
Suitable for formalin fixed paraffin wax embedded tissue sections. HIER and proteolytic pretreatment may not be necessary. Users should confirm specificity and pretreatment for their particular application.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Entrez Gene Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily, also known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains. The proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation, growth and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that is known to complex with integrins. It may function as a blood platelet activation marker. Deficiency of this protein is associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Also this gene has been associated with tumor progression. The use of alternate polyadenylation sites has been found for this gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different proteins.
Key Applications:
- Flow Cytometry
- Immunoprecipitation
- Western Blotting
- Immunohistochemistry
- Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)
