Monoclonal Anti-CD9-Biotin antibody produced in mouse

Cluster of differentiation 9 (CD 9) molecule, a member of transmembrane 4 super family (TM4SF) or tetraspanin superfamily, possesses four transmembrane domain. In human chromosome, the gene CD9 is localized on 12p13.31. The antibody MEM-61 recognizes an epitope on second extracellular domain (EC2) of CD9 antigen, a 24 kDa transmembrane protein expressed on platelets, monocytes, pre-B lymphocytes, granulocytes and activated T lymphocytes.

Pre-B cell line NALM-6

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis. Suggested working dilution is 1:400. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.

Functions of cluster of differentiation 9 (CD9) molecule (CD9) include cell proliferation, activation, motility, and metastasis of tumor cells. CD9 along with CD81 is implicated to play a key role in muscle cell fusion and myotube maintenance. CD9 is associated with Interleukin 16 (IL-16) and induces migration and activation of mast cells. CD9 is involved in megakaryopoiesis. CD9 is expressed in Cord Blood CD34+ cells and might play a key role in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homing. CD9 associates with β1 integrin, membrane type 1−matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and CD26 for HSC motility and homing. CD9 is crucial for sperm-egg fusion during fertilization. CD9 is a key molecule for glycoprotein 130 (gp130) mediated tumorigenic signal transduction in glioblastoma and a potential target for therapy.
