Description | The antibody is the prototypic antibody for the CD59 determinant, a PI-linked glycoprotein of 18-25 kDa, which is broadly expressed on most types of cells. The antigen is the major complement-protecting molecule of human cells. It is expressed on all leukocytes, erythrocytes and most other cell types. Binding of this antibody inhibits the complement-protecting activity of CD59. CD59 is one of the complement regulatory membrane proteins that is missing in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria (PNH). Anti CD59 reagents may be useful in the differential diagnosis of PNH type II and PNH type I. Recently a role for CD59 in LPS signal transduction has been reported in keratinocytes. The antibody reacts with well defined epitope (W40, R-53) on CD59 Molecule. Target Information: This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein that regulates complement-mediated cell lysis, and it is involved in lymphocyte signal transduction. This protein is a potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex, whereby it binds complement C8 and/or C9 during the assembly of this complex, thereby inhibiting the incorporation of multiple copies of C9 into the complex, which is necessary for osmolytic pore formation. This protein also plays a role in signal transduction pathways in the activation of T cells. Mutations in this gene cause CD59 deficiency, a disease resulting in hemolytic anemia and thrombosis, and which causes cerebral infarction. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode the same protein, have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. |
