AffiAB® Anti-Hu CD151 Purified

CD151, also known as PETA-3 (platelet-endothelial tetraspan antigen), is a four-pass transmembrane glycoprotein with short cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. CD151 is expressed mainly in platelets and megakaryocytes, immature hematopoietic cells, activated T cells, in endothelium, muscle cells, and epithelial cells. It associates with CD9, CD181, and integrin complexes alpha 3 / beta 1 (CD49c / CD29), alpha 5 / beta 1 (CD49e / CD29), and alpha 6 / beta 4 (CD49f / CD104) . CD151 appears to be involved in cell adhesion and migration, including metastasis.
