CD96 Antibody (630612) [Allophycocyanin]

Mouse CD96, also known as Tactile, is a 170-180 kDa member of the Ig-Superfamily.  It is expressed on CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, NK and NKT cells, resting monocytes and gamma delta T cells.  Mouse CD96 binds to CD155 and Nectin-1, and likely participates in cell-to-cell adhesion.  Mature mouse CD96 is a 581 amino acid (aa), type I transmembrane glycoprotein.  It contains a 515 aa extracellular region (aa 22-536) that contains three Ig-like domains, plus a 45 aa cytoplasmic region.  The two N-terminal domains are V-type (aa 24-244), while the distal domain is a C-type structure (aa 250-355).  Unlike human, there is no splice variant in the second V-type domain.  There is, however, a potential isoform that shows a single Cys substitution for aa 437-602.  Over aa 1-536, mouse CD96 shares 55% and 79% aa identity with human and rat CD96, respectively.
