Western blot - Anti-CD63 antibody (AB68418)

Lanes 1 - 6 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab68418 observed at 26 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 38 kDa.

ab68418 was shown to recognize CD63 in wild-type HAP1 as signal was lost at the expected MW in CD63 knockout HAP1 cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and CD63 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab68418 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Western blot - Anti-CD63 antibody (AB68418)

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 35 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab68418 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.

CD63 has a predicted molecular weight of 25 kDa; however it has a number of potential glycosylation sites which may affect the migration of the protein (SwissProt data). This is consistent with the literature which describes a band between 30-60 kDa in human platelets(PMID : 1993697).

Target Information

CD63, also known as LAMP3 or Granulophysin, is a member of the tetraspanin family and is widely expressed on the surface of various cells, including macrophages and lymphocytes. It plays a crucial role in the formation and release of exosomes. CD63 (Granulophysin) is highly expressed in various tumor cells and also impacts the tumor microenvironment (TME) by regulating cell communication. Additionally, CD63 facilitates the degradation of the extracellular matrix, aiding in tumor cell invasion and metastasis.

Supplementary information

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.

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.

Target data

Functions as a cell surface receptor for TIMP1 and plays a role in the activation of cellular signaling cascades. Plays a role in the activation of ITGB1 and integrin signaling, leading to the activation of AKT, FAK/PTK2 and MAP kinases. Promotes cell survival, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, spreading and migration, via its role in the activation of AKT and FAK/PTK2. Plays a role in VEGFA signaling via its role in regulating the internalization of KDR/VEGFR2. Plays a role in intracellular vesicular transport processes, and is required for normal trafficking of the PMEL luminal domain that is essential for the development and maturation of melanocytes. Plays a role in the adhesion of leukocytes onto endothelial cells via its role in the regulation of SELP trafficking. May play a role in mast cell degranulation in response to Ms4a2/FceRI stimulation, but not in mast cell degranulation in response to other stimuli.
