Anti-CD180 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:G28-8)-Low Endotoxin

CD180, also known as RP105 (or Bgp95, LY64) is a type I membrane glycoprotein of Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. Its cytoplasmic tail is short and unlike the TLRs, it lacks the TIR domain. CD180 expression is dependent on the coexpression of its helper molecule, MD-1 , and mirrors that of TLR4 on antigen-presenting cells. CD180 regulates recognition of LPS and signaling in B cells, via interacting directly with the TLR4 signaling complex, inhibiting its ability to bind microbial ligands. Ligation of CD180 by monoclonal antibodies leads to B cell activation, upregulation of CD80/CD86, and increase in cell size. Protein function: May cooperate with MD-1 and TLR4 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in B-cells. Leads to NF-kappa-B activation. Also involved in the life/death decision of B-cells. [The UniProt Consortium]
