| Specificity | This antibody recognises CD143, also know as angiotensin - converting enzyme (ACE). This antibody recognises active ACE binding to an N-terminal domain epitope, different to that recognised by clone i2H5 (SM1656). |
| Application | Flow cytometry. |
| Background | CD143 exists in two forms, a 170KD somatic form and a 90KD germinal form. The somatic form is expressed by endothelial cells (especially those of lung capillaries and arterioles), epithelial cells (especially in proximal renal tubules and small intestine), by some neuronal cells and variably by some macrophages and T lymphocytes. The germinal form is expressed by spermatozoa. |
| Concentration | 0.1 mg/ml |
