Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-CLEC2 [AYP1]
  • Clone: AYP1
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target: 26 kDa
  • Application: FACS ; IF ; IP ; Fn
  • Description: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease associated with increased microparticle production, have raised plasma levels of microparticles that expressed CLEC-2 but not GPVI. CLEC-2 can be used to monitor platelet-derived microparticles. The observation that microparticles derived from activated platelets retain CLEC-2 but lose GPVI highlights the potential use of measurement of surface expression of platelet receptors to screen for platelet activation in a wide variety of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.
  • Immunogen: A recombinant extracellular fragment of human CLEC-2 (aa 68-229), which is the extracellular domain of the protein
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Research area: Tissue-specific biology; Immunology
  • Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14

  • For Research Use Only

Target Details

  • Target: C-type lectin-like receptor 2, CLEC1b
