Description Clone REA442 recognizes the human CD166 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein also known as activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM). CD166, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and a ligand for the lymphocyte antigen CD6, mediates homophilic and heterophilic adhesion. It is expressed on activated leukocytes T cells, B cells, monocytes, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), metastasizing melanoma, neuronal cells, endothelial cells, hematopoiesis-supporting osteoblastic cell lines, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). CD166 expression is pathologically correlated with aggressive disease in a variety of cancers including melanoma, prostate, breast, ovarian, esophageal, and bladder cancers. It is also a universal functional marker of murine and human HSCs and osteoblasts within the hematopoietic niche and it is involved in modulating HSC-niche interactions and HSC fate. | Additional information: Clone REA442 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
About CD166 and PE
CD166 This gene encodes activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM), also known as CD166 (cluster of differentiation 166), which is a member of a subfamily of immunoglobulin receptors with five immunoglobulin-like domains (VVC2C2C2) in the extracellular domain. This protein binds to T-cell differentiation antigene CD6, and is implicated in the processes of cell adhesion and migration. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
PE Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
