Human CD93/C1qR PicoKine ELISA Kit
Background: CD93 (Cluster of Differentiation 93) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD93 gene. CD93 belongs to the Group XIV C-Type lectin family and is mapped to 20p11.21. The protein encoded by this gene is a cell-surface glycoprotein and type I membrane protein that was originally identified as a myeloid cell-specific marker. The encoded protein was once thought to be a receptor for C1q, but now is thought to instead be involved in intercellular adhesion and in the clearance of apoptotic cells. The intracellular cytoplasmic tail of this protein has been found to interact with moesin, a protein known to play a role in linking transmembrane proteins to the cytoskeleton and in the remodelling of the cytoskeleton. It has also showed that this receptor is a positive marker for all bone marrow-repopulating stem cells because it is expressed on both CD34-negative and CD34-positive stem cells from umbilical cord blood and adult bone marrow. In addition, highly purified lineage-negative cells with the CD93 protein not only have bone marrow-repopulating capacity but also can differentiate into human hepatocytes in vivo.

Product Notes
The Human CD93 cd93 (Catalog #AAA177175) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA177175 ELISA Kit recognizes Human CD93. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD93/C1qR, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
