CD24 polyclonal antibody

CD24 (known as heat stable antigen) is a small highly glycosylated GPI-linked sialoprotein. It is normally expressed at the surface of most B lymphocytes and differentiating neuroblasts, and it is also up-regulated in a wide variety of cancers. Studies have shown that CD24 functions in the regulation of B-cell apoptosis, leukocyte signal transduction, and leukocyte adhesion. Since it is highly glycosylated, the apparent molecular weight of CD24 could be variable, ranging from 30kd to 70kd. (Ref: Akihiko Sano, MD., 2009) This antibody is special to human CD24.
