Anti-CD10 / CALLA Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:MEM-78)

CD10 (neutral endopeptidase - NEP, common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen - CALLA, membrane metallo-endopeptidase - MME, enkefalinase) is a 100-kDa cell surface zinc metalloprotease cleaving peptide bonds on the N-terminus of hydrophobic amino acids and inactivating multiple physiologically active peptids. CD10 is expressed on various normal cell types, including lymphoid precursor cells, germinal center B lymhocytes, and some epithelial cells, and its expression level serves as a marker for diagnostics of many carcinomas. CD10 is also a differentiation antigen for early B-lymphoid progenitors in the B-cell differentiation pathway and has a key role in regulation of growth, differentiation and signal transduction of many cellular systems.
