CD107b (LAMP-2), Rat Anti-Mouse, (FITC); FITC conjugated Monoclonal antibody specific to Mouse CD107b. This antibody is validated for use in Flow Cytometry. Anti-CD107b recognizes the expressed product of the CD107b gene.
CD107b, also known as lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2), is a heavily glycosylated, type I transmembrane protein that constitutes one of the two major sialoglycoproteins on lysosomal membranes that can be used to distinguish lysosomes from other organelles.1 CD107b is similar in structure to Mac-1 and is expressed primarily on epithelial cells and macrophages in a variety of organs in normal and Beige mutant mice.2 Research Applications: Flow cytometry Immunohistochemistry (acetone-fixed, frozen tissue sections only)2,5 Immunoprecipitation2
