CD56 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN94187

Product Details anti-CD56 Antibody

Target: CD56 (NCAM1) (Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (NCAM1))

Reactivity: Human, Non-Human Primate

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD56 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)

Specificity: The antibody MEM-188 reacts with an extracellular epitope on a 180 kDa isoform of CD56 (NCAM) expressed in leukocytes. It has been suggested that the antibody MEM-188 could react with rhesus monkey lymphocytes. Reactivity with other NCAM isoforms has not been tested.

Target Details for CD56

Target: CD56 (NCAM1) (Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (NCAM1))

Alternative Name: CD56 (NCAM1 Products)

Background: Neural cell adhesion molecule 1,CD56 (NCAM, neural cell adhesion molecule) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of immunoglobulin family serving as adhesive molecule which is ubiquitously expressed in nervous system, usually as 120 kDa, 140 kDa or 180 kDa isoform, and it is also found on T cells and NK cells. Polysialic modification results in reduction of CD56-mediated cell adhesion and is involved in cell migration, axonal growth, pathfinding and synaptic plasticity. CD56 is a widely used neuroendocrine marker with a high sensitivity for neuroendocrine tumours and ovarian granulosa cell tumours.,NCAM1, MSK39
