Anti-CD68 (Macrophage Marker), clone LAMP4/824

Formulation: Purified Ab WITHOUT BSA and Azide at 1.0mg/ml. Cellular Localization: Cell membrane, Endosome membrane, Lysosome membrane. Positive Control: lymph node or spleen., Tonsil, U87MG. Chromosome Location: 17p13.1. Protein Function: Could play a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. Binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells [The Uniprot Consortium]
