Anti-CD226, clone 480.1, Phycoerythrin conjugated

CD226 (DNAM-1) is constitutively expressed on native CD8+ cells and on some CD4+ T cells, macrophages and NK cells. CD226 is involved in NK and T cell mediated cytotoxicity against certain tumors. CD155 and CD112 are the ligands for CD226. This antibody (480.1) is reported by the developer to partially block the binding of mouse CD155. Protein function: Involved in intercellular adhesion, lymphocyte signaling, cytotoxicity and lymphokine secretion mediated by cytotoxic T- lymphocyte (CTL) and NK cell. Cell surface receptor for NECTIN2. Upon ligand binding, stimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production, including that of IL2, IL5, IL10, IL13, and IFNG. Competes with PVRIG for NECTIN2-binding. [The UniProt Consortium]
