Clone REA1243 recognizes the human CD334 (FGFR4) antigen, known as Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4, which is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family. This cell surface tyrosine kinase is a high affinity receptor for both acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor. The binding of CD334 with the acidic fibroblast growth factors FGF2, FGF6, and FGF8, FGF19 and GFG1 induces mitogenesis and differentiation. CD334 is expressed in adrenal, lung, kidney, liver, pancreas, intestine, striated muscle and spleen tissues of human fetuses. A soluble-form splice variant of FGFR 4 was identified in human gastrointestinal epithelial cells and cancer cells.
Additional information: Clone REA1243 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
