The antibody recognizes an epitope in the N-terminal Ig domain (D1) of CD147 (Neurothelin), a 50-60 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein primarily expressed on all leukocytes, red blood cells, platelets and endothelial cells, it is not expressed by resting lymphocytes. The antibody MEM-M6/1 is a high-affinity antibody capable of binding to unstimulated peripheral blood T cells.

CD147 (basigin, neurothelin, OX-47, 5A11, CE9, M6) also known as EMMPRIN (extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer) or TCSF (tumour cell-derived collagenase-stimulatory factor) is an ubiquitously expressed cell surface protein with multiple glycosylated forms. The highest level of CD147 expression is on metabolically active cells, such as lymphoblasts, inflammatory cells, brown adipocytes and malignant tumour cells. CD147 has multiple functions, including facilitating of cell surface expression of monocarboxylate transporter proteins and extracellular matrix metalloproteinases, regulation of integrin functions, it plays roles in cell development and activation, fetal development or retinal function.Synonyms: 5F7, BSG, Basigin, Collagenase stimulatory factor, EMMPRIN, Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer, Leukocyte activation antigen M6, OK blood group antigen, TCSF, Tumor cell-derived collagenase stimulatory factor
