Product Name :
CD46 polyclonal antibody Background :
CD46, also called membrane cofactor protein (MCP), is a transmembrane glycoprotein that exists as a non-disulfide-linked dimer. CD46 regulates the complement cascade by inhibiting C3b and C4b deposited on self tissue. CD46 is a cofactor that binds to C3b and C4b, allowing their degradation by a plasma serine protease called factor I. This function resides in the complement control protein repeats (CCPs), with CCP1-4 essential for regulation. CD46 is widely distributed on thymocytes, T cells, B cells, monocytes, granulocytes, NK cells, platelets, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, placenta and sperm, but not on erythrocytes. It is the major high affinity receptor for measles virus and human herpes virus. Mouse cells ubiquitously express CRRY, which is a functional ortholog of human decay-accelerating factor (DAF; CD55) and membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46). Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
