Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of CD13. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
CD13, also named as APN, ANPEP(aminopeptidase N) or PEPN, belongs to the peptidase M-1 family. CD13 is a heavily glycosylated type-II membrane, expressed by most cells of myeloid origin including monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, and their hematopoietic precursors. It is also abundantly expressed in the brush border of epithelial cells from renal proximal tubules and small intestine, in prostatic epithelial cells, in bile duct canaliculi, in mast cells, and, in some cases, in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. CD13 is a multifunctional protein and plays varying roles in cell migration, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and so on. CD13 participates in angiogenesis generating and modulating angiogenic signals, and can be a marker of angiogenic vessels. CD13 is also a pan-myeloid marker, present on mature granulocytes and monocytes.
