Anti-MUC18 / CD146 / MCAM (Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule) Recombinant Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:rMUC18/1130)

Mel-CAM belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and functions as a Ca2+-independent cell adhesion molecule. Mel-CAM expression is restricted to advanced primary and metastatic melanomas and to cell lines of the neuroectodermal lineage, but not normal melanocytes. Mel-CAM is found on 80% of advanced primary human melanomas and correlates well with development of metastatic disease.
