Mouse anti-CD91, clone A2Mr alpha-2, R-PE (Monoclonal) - 100 TESTS

Mouse anti Human CD91 antibody, clone A2Mr alpha-2 recognizes human CD91, also known as Prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1, Alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor or apolipoprotein E receptor. CD91 is a 4525 amino acid protein post translationally cleaved into 3 subunits, a 85 kDa type I transmembrane carboxyl chain (LRP85) non-covalently bound to a 515 kDa extracellular N-terminal subunit (LRP515)containing multiple EGF-like and LDL-receptor Class A and Class B domains. Additionally, there is an intracellular domain (LRPICD) which can be cleaved from the transmambrane domain by gamma secretase (May et al. 2004). Clone A2Mr alpha-2 detects an epitope within the LRP515 chain.CD91 is a multifunctional protein involved in processes inluding the phagocytosis and endocytosis of apoptotic cells (Nilsson et al. 2012), clearance of activated serum alpha-2-macroglobulin (Kristensen et al. 1990), modulation of the inflammatory response (Staudt et al. 2013) and acts as a receptor for
