Anti-Hu CD81 Biotin

Anti-Hu CD81 Biotin

• Background: CD81 (TAPA-1), a member of the tetraspanin family, is expressed on virtually all nucleated cells, but above all on germinal center B cells. CD81 forms complexes with other tetraspanin proteins, integrins, coreceptors, MHC class I and II molecules, and influences adhesion, morphology, activation, proliferation and differentiation of B, T and other cells, e.g. in muscles CD81 promotes cell fusion and myotube maintenance. CD81 has been also identified as a receptor for the hepatitis C virus.
• Specifications: The antibody M38 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD81, a 25 kDa member of the tetraspanin family, expressed on majority of cells.
