CD36 Antibody recognizes CD36, also known as Platelet glycoprotein 4 (GPIV) and Fatty acid translocase (FAT), a multifunctional class B scavenger receptor expressed on the surface of platelets, monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, adipocytes, and certain epithelial cells. CD36 is an integral membrane glycoprotein involved in lipid uptake, inflammation, angiogenesis, and innate immune responses. CD36 Antibody is useful for detecting CD36 expression in research applications involving metabolic, vascular, and immune-related tissues.
CD36 antibody, also referred to as FAT antibody and GPIV antibody in the literature, targets a transmembrane protein that binds a broad range of ligands including long-chain fatty acids, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, thrombospondin, and microbial diacylglycerides. Through these interactions, CD36 participates in fatty acid transport, foam cell formation, platelet activation, and inflammatory signaling pathways. CD36 is highly expressed in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle where it facilitates fatty acid uptake and metabolism, and in macrophages where it contributes to lipid accumulation and atherogenesis.
The CD36 gene is located on human chromosome 7q21.11 and encodes a heavily glycosylated protein with two transmembrane helices and a large extracellular loop containing multiple ligand-binding domains. CD36 localizes primarily to the plasma membrane but can also be found in intracellular vesicular compartments involved in lipid trafficking. CD36 signaling has been linked to activation of MAPK and NF-kappaB pathways, contributing to inflammatory and metabolic regulation.
Dysregulation of CD36 expression has been associated with atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and certain malignancies. In histologic sections, CD36 typically demonstrates membranous staining in endothelial cells, macrophages, and other positive cell types. A CD36 antibody is commonly applied in research settings to study lipid metabolism, vascular biology, and immune responses. This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets CD36 for research applications.
Optimal dilution of the CD36 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
E.coli-derived human CD36 recombinant protein (Position: K233-N439) was used as the immunogen for the CD36 antibody.
After reconstitution, the CD36 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
