Uses
ANTI-CD45(C-TERMINAL) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in Western blotting.
General Description
Protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type C (PTPRC) or leucocyte common antigen CD45 is expressed on T-cells and is found in multiple isoforms. The extracellular domain of the protein is predicted to have an amino-terminal mucin-like segment, a cysteine-rich domain and three fibronectin type 3 domains. The gene encoding this protein is localized on human chromosome 1q31.3.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type C (PTPRC) or leucocyte common antigen CD45 acts as a protein tyrosine phosphatase in leucocyte signaling. It has a role in flow cytometric diagnostics in leukemia. By dephosphorylation of Src kinases, the protein acts as a regulator of antigen receptor signaling in T and B cells. As a negative regulator of janus kinases, CD45 inhibits cytokine receptor signaling.
