Overview
CD97 is a G-protein-coupled seven-span transmembrane adhesive receptor that is constitutively expressed on granulocytes and monocytes and rapidly upregulated on T and B cells upon activation. CD97 is produced in alternatively spliced forms and its cellular ligand is CD55 (DAF), which protects various cell types from complement-mediated damage. Interaction of CD97 on leukocytes and CD55 on vessel cells probably facilitate leukocyte activation and migration into the tissues, similarly, CD97 seems to play a role in tumour migration and invasiveness. CD97 is involved in T cell regulation and peripheral granulocyte homeostasis.
Specificity:
The antibody MEM-180 recognizes a unique epitope on CD97, a 75-85 kDa surface glycoprotein of G-protein-coupled receptor family, expressed on activated B and T lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells and granulocytes.
