Anti-Mouse CD24 (FITC Conjugated)[M1/69], clone M1/69

CD24 is a 35-45 kD protein also known as Heat Stable Antigen (HSA), Ly-52, or Nectadrin. It is a GPI-linked sialoglycoprotein expressed on lymphocytes, granulocytes, epithelial cells, thymocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes, and dendritic cells. CD24 expression varies during T and B cell differentiation and is a useful marker for delineating various lymphocyte developmental stages. CD24 serves as an adhesion or costimulatory molecule involved in T and B lymphocyte activation and differentiation by homophilic binding or binding to CD62P. Protein function: May have a pivotal role in cell differentiation of different cell types. May have a specific role in early thymocyte development. Signaling could be triggered by the binding of a lectin-like ligand to the CD24 carbohydrates, and transduced by the release of second messengers derived from the GPI-anchor. Modulates B-cell activation responses. In association with SIGLEC10 may be involved in the selective suppression of the immune response to danger- associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as HMGB1, HSP70 and HSP90 (PubMed:19264983). Plays a role in the control of autoimmunity (PubMed:20200274). [The UniProt Consortium]
