Clone REA198 recognizes CD202b, which is 145 kDa type I transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor. CD202b is composed of an amino-terminal ligand binding domain with immunoglobulin domains, epithelial growth factor and fibronectin-like 3 repeats, a single transmembrane domain, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Expression of CD202b is found on endothelial cells and a subpopulation of monocytes. Angiopoietins are the natural ligands of CD202b and activation of CD202b dependent signaling pathways are involved in survival and apoptosis of endothelial cells, in controlling vascular permeability, and regulation of the capillary sprouting that occurs during normal angiogenesis.
Additional information: Clone REA198 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.
