Mouse CD31 Antibody / Rat PECAM-1 Antibody recognizes platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1, a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by the Pecam1 gene. Commonly known as CD31 or PECAM-1, this protein belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and is strongly associated with vascular endothelial cells. CD31 is also expressed by platelets and several leukocyte populations, including monocytes, neutrophils and subsets of lymphocytes. Its distribution across vascular and hematopoietic cells has made CD31 an important marker in studies of vascular biology, angiogenesis and immune cell trafficking.
CD31 contains six extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains, a single transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic domain containing regulatory tyrosine residues. Homophilic interactions between PECAM-1 molecules contribute to endothelial cell-cell adhesion and the organization of intercellular junctions. The cytoplasmic region participates in phosphorylation-dependent signaling and can recruit signaling proteins that modulate cellular responses to adhesive, mechanical and inflammatory stimuli. A Mouse CD31 Antibody can therefore support investigation of endothelial organization as well as pathways connecting cell adhesion with intracellular signaling.
PECAM-1 has important functions in maintaining vascular integrity and regulating leukocyte movement across the endothelial barrier. During transendothelial migration, interactions involving CD31 help leukocytes pass through endothelial junctions. The protein is also associated with angiogenic processes, vascular remodeling and responses to changes in blood flow. Because endothelial CD31 outlines vascular structures, it is frequently used to identify blood vessels and investigate changes in vascular density, morphology and organization. A Rat PECAM-1 Antibody provides a complementary reagent for studying these processes in rat experimental models.
CD31 is relevant to research involving inflammation, cardiovascular biology, tumor vascularization, tissue repair and developmental vascular biology. Its combined roles as an endothelial marker, adhesion molecule and signaling receptor make PECAM-1 useful for examining relationships between vascular architecture and immune cell behavior. NSJ Bioreagents provides this rabbit polyclonal reagent for researchers investigating PECAM1 biology. A Mouse CD31 Antibody provides a species-focused tool for studying vascular endothelium and related biological processes, while the Rat PECAM-1 Antibody designation highlights its utility for corresponding rat research models.
For a Protein Microarray Validated monoclonal antibody with CD31 as the primary designation, see our CD31 Antibody PECAM1/3527 / PECAM-1 Monoclonal Antibody.
Optimal dilution of the Mouse CD31 Antibody / Rat PECAM-1 Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant mouse protein (amino acids Q41-E258) was used as the immunogen for the Cd31 antibody.
After reconstitution, the Cd31 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
