CD68/CD68 (kpi) Antibody (Center) western blot analysis in MDA-MB453 cell line lysates (35ug/lane).This demonstrates the CD68/CD68 (kpi) antibody detected the CD68/CD68 (kpi) protein (arrow).
Could play a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. Binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells
Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed by blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. Also expressed in lymphocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Expressed in many tumor cell lines which could allow them to attach to selectins on vascular endothelium, facilitating their dissemination to secondary sites
Cellular Localization
Isoform Short: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein
