Mast cells play a central role in inflammatory and allergic reactions by releasing histamine.

CD23

Alternative names Low affinity immunoglobulin epsilon Fc receptor, Fc epsilon RII, FCER2, CLEC4J

Low affinity receptor for IgE, ligand for CD19, CD21 and CD81. Essential for B-cell growth and differentiation. In soluble form, functions as mitogenic growth factor.

CD117

Alternative names c-kit, KIT, SCFR

Receptor tyrosine kinase which phosphorylates multiple intracellular proteins that play a role in proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis.

We recommend

Anti-c-Kit antibody [EPR25707-134] (ab283653)

CD203c

Alternative names ENPP3, B10, PDNP3

Limits mast cell and basophil responses during inflammation, expression upregulated when these cells are activated by an allergy. Enzyme catalyzing hydrolysis of deoxynucleotides, nucleotide sugars and NAD.

We recommend

Anti-ENPP3/B10 antibody [EPR27349-72] (ab308453)

CD64

Alternative names IgG Fc receptor I, FCGR1A, IGFR1

Binds to the Fc region of IgG with high affinity, expression induced by bacterial infection.

We recommend

Anti-CD64 antibody [EPR4623] (ab109449)
