Anti-CD248 (Endosialin, CD164L1, TEM1, Tumor Endothelial Marker 1)

Endosialin, also known as CD248 and tumor endothelial marker 1 (Tem1), is a 165kD transmembrane O-glycosylated protein that contains one C-type lectin, one Sushi, one EGF-like domain and a mucin-like stalk in its extracellular domain (ECD). It is expressed on activated perivascular and stromal cells in embyronic and tumor neovasculature but is downregulated in quiescent vasculature. Endosialin regulates pericyte proliferation, migration, and adhesion to matrix Fibronectin and Collagens I and IV. It is also required for lymph node and spleen remodeling during immune responses. Within the ECD, mouse Endosialin shares 76% and 93% aa-sequence identity with human and rat Endosialin, respectively. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunocytochemistry: 8-25ug/ml , Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O or PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
