The mouse monoclonal antibody 15C4 recognizes an extracellular epitope of LOX1, a C-type lectin transmembrane protein.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with R-phycoerythrin (PE) under optimum conditions. Unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
Immunogen
fusion protein of human LOX1 ectodomain and of human IgG Fc
Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
Oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1,LOX1, a 31 kDa type II transmembrane protein, is a C-type lectin, functioning as a scavenger receptor for e.g. oxidized low density lipoprotein, apoptotic heat shock proteins, or CRP. It is expressed by macrophages, fibroblasts, platelets, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, and its defects can lead to atherosclerosis. Its expression is enhanced under inflammatory conditions. Multiple splicing variants have been identified.,OLR1, SLOX1, SCARE1, CLEC8A
