MCAM antibody (N-Term)

Catalog No. ABIN119671

Product Details anti-MCAM Antibody

Target: MCAM (Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule (MCAM))

Binding Specificity: AA 1-5, N-Term

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MCAM antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Specificity: This antibody recognizes the 118 kDa cell surface glycoprotein CD146, also known as MUC18, Mel-CAM and S-endo. CD146 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, expressed by all endothelial cells and by melanoma cells. CD146 appears to act as an adhesion molecule. Expression in melanoma may be linked to tumor progression.

Purification: Affinity chromatography on Protein G

Immunogen: Recombinant human MUC18 (D1-D5) Fc protein. Spleen cells from immunised mice were fused with cells of the mouse Sp2/0 Ag.14 myeloma cell line.

Clone: OJ79c

Isotype: IgG1
