Anti-ROBO4 Antibody Picoband®

Roundabout homolog 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ROBO4 gene. Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Involved in angiogenesis and establishment of endothelial barrier. Located in extracellular exosome. Implicated in aortic valve disease 3.

Integrin alpha-L/beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM1, ICAM2, ICAM3 and ICAM4. It is involved in a variety of immune phenomena including leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction, cytotoxic T-cell mediated killing, and antibody dependent killing by granulocytes and monocytes.
