Anti-CD56, clone YN02015r

CD56 is a membrane glycoprotein that plays an important role in embryonic development and neural cell interaction. CD56 is widely found in neurons, glial cells, skeletal muscle cells, most types of neuroendocrine cells, and various epithelial cells. In the hematopoietic system, CD56 is a prototypical marker of NK cells and is also present in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets. It is mainly used in the diagnosis and research of neuroectodermal tumors, small cell lung cancer and NK cell lymphoma. Protein function: This protein is a cell adhesion molecule involved in neuron- neuron adhesion, neurite fasciculation, outgrowth of neurites, etc. [The UniProt Consortium]
