Cat#:PA-3638F;Product Name:Rabbit Anti-Human CD163 Molecule Antibody;Synonym:M130; MM130; scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130; OTTHUMP00000238617; OTTHUMP00000238618; CD163 Molecule; OTTHUMP00000238619; OTTHUMP00000238620; hemoglobin scavenger receptor; macrophage-associated antigen; CD163;Background:CD163 (Cluster of Differentiation 163) is a human protein encoded by the CD163 gene. Acute phase-regulated receptor involved in clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes by macrophages and may thereby protect tissues from free hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage. May play a role in the uptake and recycling of iron, via endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin and subsequent breakdown of heme. Binds hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes in a calcium-dependent and pH-dependent manner. Exhibits a higher affinity for complexes of hemoglobin and multimeric haptoglobin of HP*1F phenotype than for complexes of hemoglobin and dimeric haptoglobin of HP*1S phenotype. Induces a cascade of intracellular signals that involves tyrosine kinase-dependent calcium mobilization, inositol triphosphate production and secretion of IL6 and CSF1. Isoform 3 exhibits the higher capacity for ligand endocytosis and the more pronounced surface expression when expressed in cells. After shedding, the soluble form (sCD163) may play an anti-inflammatory role, and may be a valuable diagnostic parameter for monitoring macrophage activation in inflammatory conditions.;Description:Rabbit Anti-Human CD163 Molecule Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Rabbit;Species Reactivity:Human;Clone#:K20-U;Isotype:IgG1, kappa;Application:IHC;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
