Membrane cofactor protein Antibodies
AND CD46 ELISA kits, Membrane cofactor protein Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Membrane cofactor protein, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Membrane cofactor protein in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Membrane cofactor protein antibodies...

CD46 Overview
Facts about Membrane cofactor protein.
Membrane cofactor protein (CD46)
Acts as a cofactor for complement factor I, a serine protease which protects autologous cells from complement- mediated injury by cleaving C3b and C4b deposited on host tissue. May be involved in the combination of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization.
Also acts as a costimulatory factor for T- cells which induces the differentiation of CD4+ to T-regulatory 1 cells. T-regulatory 1 cells suppress immune responses by secreting interleukin-10, and therefore are thought to prevent autoimmunity.

Subcellular Localizations
Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome inner membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Inner acrosomal membrane of spermatozoa. Internalized upon binding of Measles virus, Herpesvirus 6 or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which results in an increased susceptibility of infected cells to complement-mediated injury. In cancer cells or cells infected by Neisseria, shedding leads to a soluble peptide.
