Could 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.

CD68 is a glycoprotein that functions as a scavenger receptor. It plays an important role in the regulation of cellular debris and apoptotic cell clearance. Researchers often refer to it as KP1 or macrosialin in the literature. CD68 with a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa is highly expressed in macrophages and monocytes. The mucin-like structure of CD68 allows it to be heavily glycosylated which aids in its function. Researchers detect CD68 in tissues through methods like immunohistochemistry (IHC) immunofluorescence and CD68 staining and it is widely used as a macrophage marker in research.
CD68 facilitates functions associated with the innate immune response. It serves as an important part of macrophages which contribute to immune surveillance and tissue homeostasis. Though it primarily operates on its own in some contexts CD68 might assist in forming complexes with other receptors to modulate phagocytic activity. This target is significant in atherosclerotic plaque stability as macrophages engulf lipids and cell debris through processes facilitated by CD68.
CD68 is involved in pathways connected to inflammation and phagocytosis. The CD68 protein works closely with other scavenger receptors like CD36 to mediate uptake of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) in the lipid metabolism pathway. Additionally CD68 engagement can influence the toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways thereby linking innate immunity and inflammatory responses critical for host defense and disease progression.
CD68 is associated with atherosclerosis and multiple sclerosis. In atherosclerosis its role becomes evident as it accumulates in macrophages within the plaques making it a marker of disease severity. In multiple sclerosis CD68 expression in macrophages and microglia indicates active demyelination and inflammation. It also relates to proteins such as CD36 in atherosclerosis where both mediate the uptake of modified LDL contributing to foam cell formation in plaques.

Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins.
CD68 Multiplex immunohistochemistry staining of human liver tissue using rabbit Anti-CD68 antibody
Multiplex immunohistochemistry analysis of formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded human liver tissue staining MARCO with Anti-MARCO antibody [RM1219] ab323717 at a 1:200 (2.49 ug/ml) dilution, ab283654 anti-CD68 used at 1:500 (1.26 ug/ml) dilution and Anti-CD3 epsilon antibody [CAL57] ab237721 anti-CD3 used at a 1:2000 (0.26 ug/ml) dilution.
Panel A: merged staining of anti-MARCO (green; Opal™520), anti-CD68 (magenta; Opal™570) and anti-CD3 (yellow; Opal™690) on human liver.
Panel B: anti-MARCO staining macrophages in human liver.
Panel C: ant-CD68 staining macrophages in human liver.
Panel D: ant-CD3 staining T lymphocytes in human liver.
Nuclear DNA was labeled with DAPI (shown in blue).
The section was incubated in three rounds of staining: in the order of Anti-MARCO antibody [RM1219] ab323717, Anti-CD68 antibody [EPR20545] ab213363 and Anti-CD3 epsilon antibody [CAL57] ab237721 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system.
The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.
Nuclear counter stain with DAPI.
Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins.
Flow cytometry staining of C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes (top) or C57BL/6 Mouse Bone Marrow Cell-derived Macrophages (bottom) with ab283654 (right) or Recombinant Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control (left). Cells were fixed and permeabilised with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ for 20 min. Cells were incubated for 30min on ice in 1x PBS containing 10µg/ml anti CD16/CD32 and 10% normal goat serum to block FC receptors and non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody ab283654 or Recombinant Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control (1x 106in 100 µl at 1.0 µg/ml (1/2212)) for 30min at 22°C. The cells were simultaneously stained with F4/80.
The secondary antibody Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed was incubated at 1/4000 for 30min at 22°C
Acquisition of >30000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter. Events were gated on live cells.
