mouse monoclonal IgM; CD36 Antibody (SMφ) is an IgM κ mouse monoclonal CD36 antibody (also designated CD36 molecule antibody, GPIV antibody, or SCARB3 antibody) that detects the CD36 gene product of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP, IF, IHC(P) and FCM. CD36 Antibody (SMφ) is available as both the non-conjugated anti-CD36 antibody form, as well as multiple conjugated forms of anti-CD36 antibody, including agarose, HRP, PE, FITC and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. CD36 (collagen type I receptor, thrombospondin receptor, FAT, GP4, GP3B, GPIV, PASIV, SCARB3) is a membrane glycoprotein on platelets, monocytes and umbilical vein endothelial cells. CD36 binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. CD36 plays a key role in both phagocytosis and lipid recycling, for constant production of mature spermatozoa. Mutations in this gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. Thrombospondins are widely distributed proteins that influence a variety of adhesive processes and CD36 may have important functions as a cell adhesion molecule.0
