Applications
WB;IHC;IF;ELISA
Antibody type
Monoclonal antibodies
Protein name
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) (EndoCAM) (GPIIA') (PECA1) (CD antigen CD31)
Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from human CD31
Specificity
This antibody detects endogenous levels of human CD31. Heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) Citrate buffer of pH6.0 was highly recommended as antigen repair method in paraffin section
Constitute
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Source
Mouse, Monoclonal/IgG1, Kappa
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/200 - 1/1000. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/10000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen.
Background
The protein encoded by this gene is found on the surface of platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and some types of T-cells, and makes up a large portion of endothelial cell intercellular junctions. The encoded protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is likely involved in leukocyte migration, angiogenesis, and integrin activation. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010],
Function
function:This protein is a cell adhesion molecule expressed on platelets and at endothelial cell intercellular junctions.,online information:CD31 entry,online information:PECAM-1,online information:The Singapore human mutation and polymorphism database,PTM:Phosphorylated on Ser and Tyr residues after cellular activation.,similarity:Contains 6 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,tissue specificity:Long isoform predominates all tissues examined, isoform Delta12 was detected only in trachea and isoform Delta14-15 only in lung, isoform Delta14 was detected in all tissues examined with the strongest expression in heart.,
