Target Details for CD68

Target: CD68 (CD68 Molecule (CD68))

Alternative Name: CD68

Background:

Background: CD68 is a heavily glycosylated glycoprotein that is highly expressed in macrophages and other mononuclear phagocytes. Macrosialin, if not glycosylated, has the main sequence that consists of 354 amino acids with an expected molecular weight of 37.4 kD. CD68, which can be located in the cytoplasmic granules of a variety of blood cells and myocytes, can be detected via immunohistochemistry. It's particularly effective as a marker for monocytes, histiocytes, giant cells, Kupffer cells, and osteoclasts, all of which belong to the macrophage lineage. CD68 is expressed in tissue macrophages and to a lesser extent in dendritic cells. CD68 is involved in tissue macrophage phagocytic activities, as well as intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. It works by binding to tissue and organ-specific lectins or selectins, enabling macrophage subsets to be ed to specific locations. Macrophages may be able to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells if CD68 is rapidly recirculated from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane.
