MCAM antibody (Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN6151316

Product Details anti-MCAM Antibody (Biotin)

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MCAM antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD146 / MCAM / MUC18 / Mucin 18 (C146/634), Biotin Conjugate

Characteristics: The human CD146 gene maps to chromosome 11q23 and encodes a trans-membrane glycoprotein, also designated MCAM, MUC 18, that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and functions as a Ca2 -independent cell adhesion molecule. CD146 expression is restricted to advanced primary and metastatic melanomas and to cell lines of the neuroectodermal lineage, but not normal melanocytes. CD146 is found on 80 % of advanced primary human melanomas and correlates well with development of metastatic disease. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® dyes and other labels. CF® dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: Recombinant human CD146 protein

Clone: C146-634

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistology (formalin)
