Function

Lysosomal membrane glycoprotein which plays a role in the unfolded protein response (UPR) that contributes to protein degradation and cell survival during proteasomal dysfunction (PubMed:25681212). Plays a role in the process of fusion of the lysosome with the autophagosome, thereby modulating the autophagic process (PubMed:24434718). Promotes hepatocellular lipogenesis through activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway (PubMed:29056532). May also play a role in dendritic cell function and in adaptive immunity (PubMed:9768752). (Microbial infection) Plays a positive role in post-entry steps of influenza A virus replication, either virus uncoating, cytosolic transport, or nuclear import of viral components, and promotes nuclear accumulation of influenza nucleoprotein/NP at early stages of viral infection. (Microbial infection) Supports the FURIN-mediated cleavage of mumps virus fusion protein F by interacting with both FURIN and the unprocessed form but not the processed form of the viral protein F. (Microbial infection) Promotes the intracellular proliferation of Salmonella typhimuium.

Notes

ab281573 is the carrier-free version of Anti-CD208 antibody [EPR24265-8] ab271053.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

The protein CD208 also known as DC-LAMP or LAMP-3 is integral to the immune system. It has an approximate mass of 60 kDa. CD208 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein found mainly in the endosomal/lysosomal compartments of dendritic cells. The expression of CD208 is upregulated during the maturation of dendritic cells making it a reliable marker for these immune cells. Researchers often use CD208 to study dendritic cell biology and its role in immune responses.

Biological function summary

CD208 participates in the regulation of the immune response by facilitating antigen processing and presentation. This protein is a part of the lysosomal-associated membrane protein family which contributes to the recycling of MHC class II molecules. Through its involvement in the endocytic pathway CD208 aids in presenting antigens to T lymphocytes an important step in triggering adaptive immunity. The protein colocalizes with MHC class II which is essential for effective antigen presentation.

Pathways

CD208 has a significant role in the endosomal-lysosomal pathway where it interacts with other proteins involved in antigen processing. It also engages in the intracellular trafficking pathway that affects the presentation of peptides on MHC class II molecules. The interaction with proteins such as HLA-DR is vital for efficient antigen presentation to helper T cells. CD208 supports the proper delivery of peptide-loaded MHC molecules to the cell surface a necessity for a functional adaptive immune response.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD208 has implications in autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. Its expression is notably altered in conditions like lupus and certain infectious diseases. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) abnormal CD208 expression correlates with the dysregulation of immune responses. Additionally during infectious diseases changes in CD208 expression can impact the activation and function of dendritic cells affecting disease progression. The interaction of CD208 with proteins like MHC class II molecules highlights its role in disease pathology and immune regulation.
