Description
The AD1 antibody reacts with a 50-60-kDa protein that is a homolog (87%) ofhuman CD63 (melanomaassociated antigen ME491). CD63, a highly glycosylated type-III lysosomal glycoprotein, is a member of the tetraspan transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) that also includes CD9, CD37, and CD53. In the rat, CD63 is expressed on mast cells and platelets. CD63 is also found on rat embryonic fibroblasts and hepatic cell, along with cultured cell lines of diverse origin (eg, liver, lung, and heart). Expression is upregulated with culture. CD63 is expressed in close proximity to the FcεRI on rat mast cells and has been shown to partially inhibit IgE-mediated histamine release. The function of CD63 has not been fully characterized.
