Anti-CD9 (mouse) (FITC), clone EM-04

Protein function: Integral membrane protein associated with integrins, which regulates different processes, such as sperm-egg fusion, platelet activation and aggregation, and cell adhesion (PubMed:10700183, PubMed:10634790, PubMed:10634791, PubMed:14715942). Present at the cell surface of oocytes and plays a key role in sperm-egg fusion, possibly by organizing multiprotein complexes and the morphology of the membrane required for the fusion (PubMed:10700183, PubMed:10634790, PubMed:10634791, PubMed:21690351). Acts as a receptor for PSG17 (PubMed:11805154). Involved in platelet activation and aggregation (PubMed:14715942). Regulates paranodal junction formation (PubMed:14715942). Involved in cell adhesion, cell motility and tumor metastasis. [The UniProt Consortium]
