Anti-Recombinant CD47, clone 11A3

Predicted to enable protein binding activity involved in heterotypic cell-cell adhesion and thrombospondin receptor activity. Involved in regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including monocyte aggregation, opsonization, and positive regulation of phagocytosis. Located in extracellular exosome. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system, central nervous system, genitourinary system, hemolymphoid system gland, and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human CD47 (CD47 molecule). Protein function: Has a role in both cell adhesion by acting as an adhesion receptor for THBS1 on platelets, and in the modulation of integrins. Plays an important role in memory formation and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Receptor for SIRPA, binding to which prevents maturation of immature dendritic cells and inhibits cytokine production by mature dendritic cells. Interaction with SIRPG mediates cell-cell adhesion, enhances superantigen-dependent T-cell-mediated proliferation and costimulates T-cell activation. May play a role in membrane transport and/or integrin dependent signal transduction. May prevent premature elimination of red blood cells. May be involved in membrane permeability changes induced following virus infection. [The UniProt Consortium]
