Human A33, also known as GPA33, is a 43kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the CTX (cortical thymocyte marker in Xenopus) family of cell adhesion molecules within the immunoglobulin superfamily. Other family members include CXADR, ESAM, BT-IgSF, CD2 and JAM A-C. The extracellular domain (ECD) of human A33 is 214 amino acids (aa) in length and contains one V-type and one C2-type Ig-like domain.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Direct ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:
Flow Cytometry: 50ug/ml. 10ul labels 1-2.5x10e5 HT-29 cells in a reaction volume not exceeding 200ul.
