Description Clone REA337 recognizes the human CD201 antigen, a single-pass type I membrane protein which is also known as endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR). CD201 is strongly expressed in the endothelial cells of arteries and veins in heart and lung, and less intensely in capillaries in the lung and skin. It is also expressed on a subset of neutrophils, monocytes, and several tumor cells. The major role of CD201 is anticoagulation. CD201 binds to protein C with high affinity and augments the activation of protein C by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex. Another important functional aspect of CD201 is its role in many pathophysiologic processes, such as inflammation responses to infection, trauma, hematopoiesis, and autoimmune response. Mutations in the CD201 gene have been associated with venous thromboembolism and myocardial infarction, as well as with late fetal loss during pregnancy. | Additional information: Clone REA337 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
About CD201 and FITC
CD201 The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for activated protein C, a serine protease activated by and involved in the blood coagulation pathway. The encoded protein is an N-glycosylated type I membrane protein that enhances the activation of protein C. Mutations in this gene have been associated with venous thromboembolism and myocardial infarction, as well as with late fetal loss during pregnancy. The encoded protein may also play a role in malarial infection and has been associated with cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
FITC Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
