Anti-CD56 / NCAM1 / NKH1 (Neuronal Cell Marker) Monoclonal Antibody (Clone: ERIC-1)

This MAb reacts with an extracellular domain (close to transmembrane) of CD56/NCAM. Three isoforms of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) are produced by differential splicing of the RNA transcript from a single gene. The 135kDa isoform is the basic molecule, which is glycosylated or sialylated to produce the mature species. Anti-CD56 recognizes two proteins of the neural cell adhesion molecule, the basic molecule expressed on most neuroectodermally derived tissues and neoplasms (e.g. retinoblastoma, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, neuroblastomas, and small cell carcinomas) . It is also expressed on some mesodermally derived tumors (rhabdomyosarcoma) . Anti-CD56 plays an important role in the diagnosis of nodal and nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas.
