mouse Anti-CD47 (CD47 Antigen, Antigenic Surface Determinant Protein OA3, Integrin Associated Protein, IAP, Integrin Associated Signal Transducer, Leukocyte Surface Antigen CD47, MER6, OA3, Protein MER6, Rh-related Antigen) (MaxLight 550) Monoclonal Antibody [Clone:1/1A4]

MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.

CD47, also known as integrin-associated protein, is a 50kD glycoprotein expressed on all hematopoietic cell lines, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and many tumor cell lines.
CD47 is involved in several cellular processes including regulation of T cell and dendritic cell activation, regulation of neutrophil (PMN) chemotaxis, caspase-independent apoptosis, and may act as a signal transducer in the regulation of cation fluxes across cell membranes. CD47 has been identified as a ligand for the inhibitory macrophage receptor known as signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPalpha) and as a receptor for thrombospondin-1.
