CD106 / VCAM1 (1.4C3), CF647 conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

CD106 (also known as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, or VCAM-1) is a member of the Ig superfamily of adhesion molecules. It is expressed at high levels on cytokine stimulated vascular endothelial cells, and at minimal levels on un-stimulated endothelial cells. It is also present on follicular and inter-follicular dendritic cells of lymph nodes, myoblasts, and some macrophages. CD106 serves as a ligand for leukocyte beta-1 integrin VLA-4 and mediates cell adhesion of leukocytes to activated endothelium. It plays a role in various immunological and inflammatory responses.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
