Anti-CD47 (human), clone ANC2F6 (preservative free)

Liquid. Monoclonal Antibody. Binds to an epitope within the extracellular Ig-like domain of human CD47. Isotype: Mouse IgG1kappa. Clone: ANC2F6. Applications: ELISA, FACS. Liquid. 50 mM Sodium Phosphate pH 7.5, 100 mM Potassium Chloride, 150mM NaCl. Human CD47 (IAP, Integrin Associated Protein) is a broadly expressed Ig superfamily glycoprotein of about 50kD with a long extracellular Ig like domain, 5 transmembrane domains and an alternatively spliced intracellular C-terminal domain. It interacts with its ligand SIRPalpha (CD172a, Signal Regulatory Protein) expressed mainly on myeloid cells serving as a negative immune regulator, inhibiting phagocytosis. The CD47-SIRPalpha axis is being investigated as possible anti-tumor immune intervention point. Blockade of this interaction has shown promise in models of HNSCC, glioma and breast cancer. Protein function: Has a role in both cell adhesion by acting as an adhesion receptor for THBS1 on platelets, and in the modulation of integrins. Plays an important role in memory formation and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Receptor for SIRPA, binding to which prevents maturation of immature dendritic cells and inhibits cytokine production by mature dendritic cells. Interaction with SIRPG mediates cell-cell adhesion, enhances superantigen-dependent T-cell-mediated proliferation and costimulates T-cell activation. May play a role in membrane transport and/or integrin dependent signal transduction. May prevent premature elimination of red blood cells. May be involved in membrane permeability changes induced following virus infection. [The UniProt Consortium]
