Preparation and Storage

Background: CD74

CD74 is a transmembrane protein which, on antigen presenting cells, is the invariant chain that chaperones MHC class II dimers from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. The cytoplasmic portion of CD74 can be released by intramembrane cleavage and activate NF kappa B. CD74 is upregulated in several cancers and is also expressed by non-immune cells during inflammation. This antibody was raised to a splice variant of human CD74 which lacks the Thyroglobulin type-1 repeat in the extracellular domain. Within comparable regions, human CD74 shares 70% and 73% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat CD74, respectively.
