JAM-A (CD321) Monoclonal Antibody (H202-106), Biotin, Invitrogen™

Description

For FACS analysis, use 10 µL of the suggested working dilution to label 1x10^6 cells in 100 µL. Rat anti Mouse CD321 antibody, clone H202-106 recognizes murine CD321, also known as junctional adhesion molecule 1 (JAM-1). CD321 is a 274 amino acid approximately 32-4 1kDa single pass, type I transmembrane glycoprotein, which shares similarities with related proteins JAM-2 and JAM-3.

CD321 (F11R, JAM-1, JAM-A) is a cell-surface adhesion molecule belonging to the Ig superfamily of receptors. CD321 is a 32-41 kD glycoprotein, possessing two extracellular Ig-like domains, a transmembrane region, and a short cytosolic tail. The protein assembles at the membrane as a homodimer, and can associate laterally with other membrane proteins including integrins. CD321 is expressed on a variety of cell types, including leukocytes, platelets, erythrocytes, stem cells, epithelial and endothelial cells, and plays a role in mediating cell-cell contact. CD321 can be found in close proximity to several components of epithelial tight junctions, including ZO-1 and occludin. CD321 is involved in the maintenance of epithelial and endothelial barriers, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, and tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.
