• Target description: CD63 antigen (UniProt: P08962; also known as Granulophysin, Lysosomal-associated membrane protein 3, LAMP-3, Melanoma-associated antigen ME491, OMA81H, Ocular melanoma-associated antigen, Tetraspanin-30, Tspan-30, CD63) is encoded by the CD63 (also known as MLA1, TSPAN30) gene (Gene ID: 967) in human. CD63 is a multi-pass membrane glycoprotein of the tetraspanin family that has three cytoplasmic domains, four transmembrane domains, and two extracellular domains. CD63 is detected in endosomes, lysosomes, and plasma membranes. It has also been detected in platelets, radial growth phase primary melanomas, hematopoietic cells, and in tissue macrophages. In melanoma cells it is involved in their motility and adhesion. It plays a role in the adhesion of leukocytes onto endothelial cells and is involved in the activation of ITGB1 and integrin signaling that leads to the activation of AKT, FAK/PTK2 and MAP kinases and promote cell survival, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, spreading and migration. CD63 bears a YXXØ consensus motif in its carboxy terminal cytoplasmic domain with an essential tyrosine residue, 2 hydrophobic XX residues, and a bulky hydrophobic amino acid. This motif is required for endocytosis at the plasma membrane. Lack of expression of CD63 in platelets has been reported in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome that is characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding due to platelet storage pool deficiency, and lysosomal storage defects. Overexpression of CD63 has been observed in esophageal cancer that is negatively correlated with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
