CD36 Antibody recognizes CD36, also known as Platelet glycoprotein 4 (GPIV) and Fatty acid translocase (FAT), a multifunctional class B scavenger receptor expressed on platelets, monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, adipocytes, and selected epithelial cells. CD36 is a heavily glycosylated integral membrane protein that mediates lipid uptake, inflammatory signaling, and thrombotic responses. CD36 Antibody is suitable for detecting CD36 expression in research applications related to metabolism, vascular biology, and immune regulation.
CD36 antibody, also referred to as GPIV antibody and FAT antibody in the literature, binds a transmembrane receptor that recognizes long-chain fatty acids, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, thrombospondin, and microbial lipid components. Through these ligand interactions, CD36 plays an essential role in fatty acid transport in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, foam cell formation in macrophages, platelet adhesion and activation, and innate immune signaling. CD36 engagement has been associated with activation of MAPK and NF-kappaB signaling pathways, linking lipid metabolism to inflammatory responses.
The CD36 gene is located on chromosome 7q21.11 and encodes a protein containing two transmembrane segments flanking a large extracellular loop with multiple ligand-binding regions and glycosylation sites. CD36 localizes primarily to the plasma membrane but can also be found in intracellular vesicular compartments involved in lipid trafficking. Tissue expression is prominent in spleen, liver sinusoidal endothelium, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and macrophage-rich regions.
Dysregulated CD36 expression has been implicated in atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and certain malignancies. In histologic sections, CD36 typically demonstrates membranous staining in endothelial cells and macrophages. Clone CD36/7218 is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed to recognize CD36 in experimental systems.
Optimal dilution of the CD36 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant full-length human CD36 protein was used as the immunogen for the CD36 antibody.
Aliquot the CD36 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
