Clone Name: MAR-1
Product Description: The MAR-1 antibody reacts with the Fc epsilon Receptor I alpha chain (FceRIa), a transmembrane protein member of the Ig superfamily. This chain, together with a beta chain and two gamma chains form a tetrameric complex that supports IgE-mediated signaling and subsequent release of chemical mediators of allergy and immediate hypersensitivity. FceR1a is upregulated in the presence of IgE on those cell types which express it, such as Mast cells and Basophils.The MAR-1 antibody is widely used both in flow cytometry and for depletion of cells in vitro / in vivo.

Background: The immunoglobulin epsilon receptor (IgE receptor) is the initiator of the allergic response. When two or more high-affinity IgE receptors are brought together by allergen-bound IgE molecules, mediators such as histamine that are responsible for allergy symptoms are released. This receptor is comprised of an alpha subunit, a beta subunit, and two gamma subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
