Product Overview
Clone AAOC-2 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes basigin (gene BSG) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ICC/IF. The predicted molecular weight is 42.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 65 kDa.
Basigin (BSG, also called CD147 or EMMPRIN) is an immunoglobulin superfamily transmembrane glycoprotein. It acts as a chaperone for monocarboxylate transporters such as MCT1 and MCT4 and stimulates matrix metalloproteinase production, and it is the red blood cell receptor used by Plasmodium falciparum RH5 during invasion.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human SiHa cells, human HeLa cells, human HepG2 cells, rat kidney tissue, rat liver tissue, mouse kidney tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:500 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:500, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human stomach cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): Jurkat cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human CD147.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places basigin in the melanosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Retina-specific. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
