Fitzgerald Industries International, Inc. CD9 antibody 10R-CD9aHU

Mouse monoclonal CD9 antibody Background: CD9 antigen is a glycoprotein expressed on the surface of developing B lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, stimulated T lymphocytes and by neurons and glial cells in the peripheral nervous system. In pre-B cells and platelets, CD9 antigen regulates cell activation and aggregation possibly through an association with the integrin CD41/CD61 (GPIIb/GPIIIa). It also regulates cell motility in a variety of cell lines and appears to be an important regulator of Schwann cell behavior in the peripheral nervous system. In melanoma and breast cancer, CD9 antigen expression has been reported to occur predominantly on primary, non-metastatic tumors.
