Human T cell line Molt 13. Cellular Localization: Cell surface

This MAb recognizes extracellular epitope 2 within the N-terminal Ig domain of human CD147. It expressed more intensely on thymocytes than on mature peripheral blood T cells. CD147 is important in spermatogenesis, embryo implantation, neural network formation, and tumor progression. It stimulates the production of interstitial collagenase, gelatinase A, stromelysin-1 and various metalloproteinases (MMPs) by fibroblasts. These enzymes are important factors in cancer invasion and metastasis.

Applications: 
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
