Anti-CD74 Antibody Picoband® fluoro594 Vervoeging

HLA class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chain also known as HLA-DR antigens-associated invariant chain or CD74 (Cluster of Differentiation 74), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD74 gene. The protein encoded by this gene associates with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and is an important chaperone that regulates antigen presentation for immune response. It also serves as cell surface receptor for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) which, when bound to the encoded protein, initiates survival pathways and cell proliferation. This protein also interacts with amyloid precursor protein (APP) and suppresses the production of amyloid beta (Abeta) . Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

E.coli-derived human CD74 recombinant protein (Position: Q73-M296) .

Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected in bone marrow cells, spermatogonia and spermatocytes, but not in round spermatids, elongating spermatids and spermatozoa. Isoform 3 is detected in round spermatids, elongating spermatids and spermatozoa, but not in spermatogonia and spermatocytes (at protein level) . Isoform 1 is widely expressed and detected in fetal liver and bone marrow. Isoform 3 is detected in bone marrow cells enriched in hematopoietic stem cells.

G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system and generates a calcium-activated chloride current. Plays an important role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and the modulation of the neural network activity.
