CD63 Polyclonal Antibody

Ab type

Primary antibody

Background

The protein encoded by CD63 (CD63 molecule) 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. The 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 CD63 has been associated with tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms.
