Additional info: CD151, also known as PETA-3 (platelet-endothelial tetraspan antigen), is a four-pass transmembrane glycoprotein with short cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. CD151 is expressed mainly in platelets and megakaryocytes, immature hematopoietic cells, activated T cells, in endothelium, muscle cells, and epithelial cells. It associates with CD9, CD181, and integrin complexes alpha 3 / beta 1 (CD49c / CD29), alpha 5 / beta 1 (CD49e / CD29), and alpha 6 / beta 4 (CD49f / CD104). CD151 appears to be involved in cell adhesion and migration, including metastasis.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody BNI3 recognizes an extracellular domain of human CD152 / CTLA4, an approximately 45 kDa type I transmembrane protein serving as a negative regulator of T cell responses.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 2-4 μg/ml.
