Anti-CD30/Tnfrsf8 Picoband® Antibody Fluoro647 Conjugated

CD30, also known as TNFRSF8, is a cell membrane protein of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family and tumor marker. It is mapped to 4 E1; 4 78.17 cM. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is expressed by activated, but not by resting, T and B cells. TRAF2 and TRAF5 can interact with this receptor, and mediate the signal transduction that leads to the activation of NF-kappaB. This receptor is a positive regulator of apoptosis, and also has been shown to limit the proliferative potential of autoreactive CD8 effector T cells and protect the body against autoimmunity. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

Ubiquitous expression with high levels in trabecular bone, thymus, small intestine, lung, brain and kidney. Weakly expressed in spleen and bone marrow.
