Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	M034
Applications	ICC, IP, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:2000 ICC: 1:100
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Immunogen	Clone (M034) was generated from a proprietary antigen related to the native human CD63 expressed in MeWo melanoma cell line.
Specificity	Clone M034 mouse monoclonal antibody detects a 30-60 kDa* protein on SDS-PAGE "Native" immunoblots of human A549, MeWo, MDA-MB-231, and MCF7 cells, as well as human breast, lung, and skin tissues. This antibody does not detect denatured CD63. The antibody works for western blot, immunoprecipitation, ELISA, and immunocytochemistry.
Formulation	PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Protein G Purified
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Predicted Protein Size	30-60
Database Link	UniProt ID P08962
Background	Tetraspanins comprise a large superfamily of cell surface-associated membrane proteins with four transmembrane domains. On cell membranes, tetraspanins form networks of various proteins called tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs). CD63 was the first characterized tetraspanin and it is found in TEMs, as well as late endosomes and lysosomes. In late endosomes, CD63 is enriched on the intraluminal vesicles, and can be secreted as exosomes through fusion of endosomes with the plasma membrane. The complex localization pattern of CD63 suggests that its intracellular trafficking and distribution must be tightly regulated. CD63 contains N-link glycosylation sites that produce diverse CD63 molecules that range from 30 to 60 kDa depending on cell type. CD63 is an important exosomal marker in cancer cells, and may be involved in cancer progression and metastasis.
Note	Protein G purified tissue culture supernatant.
