Reacts with a 75 kDa, a single chain, type I membrane glycoprotein referred to as thrombomodulin and fetomodulin. CD141 is expressed on endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, epithelial cells, synovial lining cells, and keratinocytes. It is also found on megakaryocytes, peripheral blood moncytes, and neutrophils, but not on lymphocytes. Reports indicate that CD 141 plays an important role in Protein C activation and the initiation of the Protein C anticoagulant pathway. Thrombin loses its procagulant function when it binds to CD141, and the CD141/thrombin complex is able to activate Protein C. This product is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested during antibody development only or reported in the literature. Profile of peripheral blood monocytes analyzed by flow cytometry.
