Background: CD163(Cluster of Differentiation 163) also known as HEMOGLOBIN SCAVENGER RECEPTOR, is a human protein encoded by the CD163 gene. The receptor belongs to the scavenger receptor cysteine rich family type B and consists of an 1048 amino acid residues extracellular domain, a single transmembrane segment and a cytoplasmic tail with several splice variants. CD163 is a scavenger receptorfor the hemoglobin-haptoglobincomplex. Using FISH, somatic cell hybrid analysis, and radiation hybrid analysis, Stover et al.(2000) mapped the CD163 gene to chromosome 12p13.3. Specific CD163-mediated endocytosis of haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes was measurable in cells transfected with CD163 cDNA and in CD163-expressing myelomonocytic lymphoma cells.CD163 expression in monocytes promoted bacteria-induced proinflammatory cytokine production that could be blocked by anti-CD163 antibodies. Cells expressing human CD163 and recombinant protein containing the extracellular domain of CD163 supported adhesion of erythroblastic cells.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily, and is exclusively expressed in monocytes and macrophages. It functions as an acute phase-regulated receptor involved in the clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes by macrophages, and may thereby protect tissues from free hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage. This protein may also function as an innate immune sensor for bacteria and inducer of local inflammation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Uniprot Description
CD163: Acute phase-regulated receptor involved in clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes by macrophages and may thereby protect tissues from free hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage. May play a role in the uptake and recycling of iron, via endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin and subsequent breakdown of heme. Binds hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes in a calcium-dependent and pH-dependent manner. Exhibits a higher affinity for complexes of hemoglobin and multimeric haptoglobin of HP*1F phenotype than for complexes of hemoglobin and dimeric haptoglobin of HP*1S phenotype. Induces a cascade of intracellular signals that involves tyrosine kinase-dependent calcium mobilization, inositol triphosphate production and secretion of IL6 and CSF1. Isoform 3 exhibits the higher capacity for ligand endocytosis and the more pronounced surface expression when expressed in cells. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The CD163 cd163 (Catalog #AAA176143) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-CD163 antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CD163 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CD163 cd163 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD163, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
