Function

The protein expressed by gene CD63 functions as a cell surface receptor for TIMP1 and is involved in the activation of various cellular signaling cascades. It plays a role in the activation of ITGB1 and integrin signaling, which leads to the activation of AKT, FAK/PTK2, and MAP kinases, promoting cell survival, actin cytoskeleton reorganization, and cell adhesion, spreading, and migration through the activation of AKT and FAK/PTK2. Additionally, it participates in VEGFA signaling by regulating the internalization of KDR/VEGFR2. CD63 is involved in intracellular vesicular transport processes and is essential for the normal trafficking of the PMEL luminal domain, crucial for melanocyte development and maturation. It also contributes to leukocyte adhesion onto endothelial cells by regulating SELP trafficking. CD63 may play a role in mast cell degranulation in response to Ms4a2/FceRI stimulation, but not in response to other stimuli.

Activity summary

CD63 is a protein commonly known as LAMP-3 a member of the tetraspanin family with a molecular weight of approximately 25-65 kDa depending on post-translational modifications such as glycosylation. It resides mainly on the membrane of intracellular vesicles such as lysosomes and platelets. CD63 also appears on the surface of activated cells particularly in immune cells. Researchers often use CD63 as a marker in assays including CD63 western blot techniques due to its distinct expression patterns.

Biological function summary

CD63 participates in various cellular processes including membrane trafficking cell adhesion and signal transduction. It associates with integrins and other tetraspanins forming complexes that influence cellular adhesion and migration. Through its role in exosome formation CD63 contributes significantly to intercellular communication by facilitating the transfer of proteins lipids and RNA between cells.

Pathways

CD63 plays a role in pathways linked to cell proliferation and migration and immune response regulation. Within the integrin-mediated signaling pathway CD63 interacts with proteins such as integrins to promote cell adhesion and migration. CD63 also links to vesicle trafficking pathways collaborating with proteins involved in exocytosis and endocytosis which affect cell membrane restructuring and intracellular transport.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD63 shows connections with cancer and immune system disorders. Its role in promoting cell adhesion and migration links it with cancer metastasis including melanoma and breast cancer where CD63 expression levels often rise. Additionally CD63 associates with allergic reactions due to its involvement in histamine release where it impacts immune proteins like FcεRI which participate in allergy pathogenesis.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Biotin Anti-CD63 antibody [EPR5702] - Late Endosome Marker (ab316180)

    Negative staining of CD63 in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human normal skeletal muscle*.

    Performed on a Leica BOND™ system. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20mins, before blocking of endogenous biotin using Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit ab64212. The section was then incubated with ab316180 at 0.5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
