Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human CD82 recombinant protein (Position: A98-Y267). Human CD82 shares 69% and 67% amino acid (aa) sequences identity with mouse and rat CD82, respectively. (reported region: A98-Y267).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 30-36 kDa; calculated MW: 29626 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
CD82 antigen; CD82 antigen. CD82 (Cluster of Differentiation 82), also named KAI1, is a protein that in humans encoded by the CD82 gene. The gene is mapped to 11p11.2. This metastasis suppressor gene product is a membrane glycoprotein that is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily. Expression of this gene has been shown to be downregulated in tumor progression of human cancers and can be activated by p53 through a consensus binding sequence in the promoter. The expression of CD82 protein appears to be correlated with lymph node metastasis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). And the CD82 overexpression can suppress tumor invasiveness and metastatic potential by inducing MMP9 inactivation via upregulation of TIMP1. Functional note: Associates with CD4 or CD8 and delivers costimulatory signals for the TCR/CD3 pathway. Reported localization: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Lymphoid specific.
