Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab125212 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| WB | Use a concentration of 0.1 - 0.5 µg/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 35 kDa. The detection limit for ab125212 is approximately 0.1ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions. |
|
| IHC-P | Use a concentration of 0.5 - 1 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. | |
| IHC-Fr | Use a concentration of 0.5 - 1 µg/ml. | |
| IHC-FoFr | Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Target
-
FunctionCould play a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. Binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells.
-
Tissue specificityHighly expressed by blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. Also expressed in lymphocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Expressed in many tumor cell lines which could allow them to attach to selectins on vascular endothelium, facilitating their dissemination to secondary sites.
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the LAMP family.
-
Post-translational
modificationsN- and O-glycosylated. -
Cellular localizationCell membrane and Endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane.

Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 5% serum for 1 hour at room temperature; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in citrate buffer (pH 6). Samples were incubated with primary antibody (undiluted) for 16 hours at 4°C. An undiluted HRP-conjugated horse anti-rat polyclonal IgG was used as the secondary antibody. -
