CD15 / FUT4 (Reed-Sternberg Cell Marker) []

Clear

Summary

CD15 plays a role in mediating phagocytosis, bactericidal activity, and chemotaxis. It is present on s disease. CD15 is occasionally expressed in large cell lymphomas of both B and T phenotypes which otherwise have a quite distinct histological appearance.

Functions

  • Catalyzes alpha(1->3) linkage of fucosyl moiety transferred from GDP-beta-L-fucose to N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) within type 2 lactosamine (LacNAc, Gal-beta(1->4)GlcNAc) glycan attached to N- or O-linked glycoproteins (PubMed:29593094, PubMed:1702034, PubMed:1716630). Robustly fucosylates nonsialylated distal LacNAc unit of the polylactosamine chain to form Lewis X antigen (CD15), a glycan determinant known to mediate important cellular functions in development and immunity. Fucosylates with lower efficiency sialylated LacNAc acceptors to form sialyl Lewis X and 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis X determinants that serve as recognition epitopes for C-type lectins (PubMed:29593094, PubMed:1716630). Together with FUT7 contributes to SELE, SELL and SELP selectin ligand biosynthesis and selectin-dependent lymphocyte homing, leukocyte migration and blood leukocyte homeostasis (By similarity). In a cell type specific manner, may also fucosylate the internal LacNAc unit of the polylactosamine chain to form VIM-2 antigen that serves as recognition epitope for SELE (PubMed:1716630, PubMed:11278338).
  • Does not generate Lewis X antigens.

Known Applications & Suggested Dilutions

  • Flow Cytometry (2-4ug/million cells)
  • Immunofluorescence (2-4ug/ml)
  • Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (5-10ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT)(Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95&degC followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes)Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
