CD36 APC-Cyanine7

The clone 5-271, a mouse monoclonal antibody, selectively binds to an 85 kD integral membrane glycoprotein also known as CD36, or GPIIIb. It is expressed on platelets, mononuclear phagocytes, adipocytes, hepatocytes, myocytes, and some epithelia and functions as a scavenger receptor. CD36 plays a role in platelet aggregation, macrophage foam cell development, inflammation, and the tissue ischemia observed in sickle cell disease and cerebral malaria. Note that 1-4% of Japanese and East Asia population lack CD36.
