Anti-CD99 Antibody Picoband® (Dylight488 Conjugate)

CD99 antigen (Cluster of differentiation 99), also known as MIC2 or single-chain type-1 glycoprotein, is a heavily O-glycosylated transmembrane protein that is encoded by the CD99 gene in humans. The protein encoded by this gene is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in leukocyte migration, T-cell adhesion, ganglioside GM1 and transmembrane protein transport, and T-cell death by a caspase-independent pathway. In addition, the encoded protein may have the ability to rearrange the actin cytoskeleton and may also act as an oncosuppressor in osteosarcoma. This gene is found in the pseudoautosomal region of chromosomes X and Y and escapes X-chromosome inactivation. There is a related pseudogene located immediately adjacent to this locus.

Associates with IFNGR2 to form a receptor for the cytokine interferon gamma (IFNG) (PubMed:7615558, PubMed:2971451, PubMed:7617032, PubMed:10986460). Ligand binding stimulates activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway (PubMed:7673114). .
