CD36 Antibody

GWB-10331D

IgG1 Description: Homo sapiens CD36 molecule (thrombospondin receptor) (CD36) transcript variant 3

WB 1:2000 IF 1:100 Flow 1:100 The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth major glycoprotein of the platelet surface and serves as a receptor for thrombospondin in platelets and various cell lines. Since thrombospondins are widely distributed proteins involved in a variety of adhesive processes this protein may have important functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It binds to collagen thrombospondin anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. It directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes and it binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Mutations in this gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
