Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-RAET1E [RAET1E 50/3]
  • Clone: RAET1E 50/3
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target:
  • Application: ELISA ; FACS ; IF ; IP ; Fn ; WB
  • Description: RAET1E (Retinoic Acid Early Transcript 1E), or ULBP4, is a member of the RAET1 family of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related genes. RAET1E and RAET1G differ from the other RAET1 proteins by having a type I membrane-spanning sequence at their C termini rather than glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor sequences. RAET1E is a functional ligand for NKG2D, which causes lymphocyte activation resulting in the secretion of cytokines.
  • Immunogen: Recombinant His-tagged protein to human extra-cellular domain of RAET1E, grown in E.coli
  • Isotype: IgG2b
  • Research area: Immunology

  • For Research Use Only
