Anti-CD9 (CD9 Antigen, 5H9 Antigen, Cell Growth-inhibiting Gene 2 Protein, Leukocyte Antigen MIC3, M

CD9 is a 24kD type III transmembrane protein also known as tetraspanin, MRP-1 and DRAP-24. It is a member of the tetraspan family (spanning the membrane four times) found on platelets, B cell progenitors, activated lymphocytes, granulocytes, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. CD9 induces adhesion, platelet aggregation, and B cell development. CD9 has been shown to associate with CD63, CD81, CD82, and CD36 and to bind to B1 integrins.
