Scientific Data Images for MCAM/CD146 Antibody

Western Blot: MCAM/CD146 Antibody [NBP2-15778] - Various whole cell extracts (30 ug) were separated by 5% SDS-PAGE, and the membrane was blotted with CD146 antibody [C1C3] diluted at 1:1000. The HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (NBP2-19301) was used to detect the primary antibody.
Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: MCAM/CD146 Antibody [NBP2-15778] - HUVEC cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at RT for 15 min. Green: CD146 protein stained by CD146 antibody [C1C3] diluted at 1:500. Blue: Hoechst 33342 staining.
Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: MCAM/CD146 Antibody [NBP2-15778] - Mouse placenta. Green: CD146 stained by CD146 antibody [C1C3] diluted at 1:250.Red: alpha Tubulin, a cytoskeleton marker, stained by alpha Tubulin antibody [114] diluted at 1:1000. Blue: Fluoroshield with DAPI. Antigen Retrieval: Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, 15 min.

Background: MCAM/CD146

Plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hematogeneous tumor spread. Could be an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during embryonic development. Acts as surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2, and a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration.
