CD146 Antibody

CD146 (cluster of differentiation 146), also known as MCAM and MUC18, is a cell adhesion molecule used as a marker for endothelial cell lineage. CD146 has been demonstrated to appear on a small subset of T and B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. It has been seen as a marker for mesenchymal stem cells isolated from multiple adult and fetal organs, and its expression may be linked to multipotency mesenchymal stem cells with greater differentiation potential express higher levels of CD146 on the cell surface.
