MONOCLONAL ANTI-CD41-FITC ANTIBODY+

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 µL reagent / 100 µL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cluster of differentiation 41 (CD41) is significantly involved in platelet adhesion and thrombus formation at the location of vascular injury. Fibrinogen and many extracellular matrix proteins bind in a groove between the α and β-subunits of the integrin receptor. Platelet aggregation, induced by the binding of fibrinogen to the ITGA2B receptor, is involved in the pathogenesis of acute thrombosis in coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. CD41, expressed in haematopoietic progenitors, is associated with erythroid activity and endothelial marker expression. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CD41 might be associated with the risk of acute coronary syndrome and atherosclerosis.

General description

Cluster of differentiation 41 (CD41), also known as integrin subunit α 2b (ITGA2B) or GPIIb/IIIa (glycoprotein), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 17q21.31. It is a platelet-specific, surface membrane receptor.

The antibody MEM-06 reacts with CD41 (GPIIb), a transmembrane glycoprotein (integrin family) composed of two chains GPIIb alpha (heavy chain; 120 kDa) and GPIIb beta (light chain; 23 kDa). CD41 is mainly expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes.
