Description
Brilliant Violet 421? anti-human LOX-1. Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1) also known as CLEC8A is a 31 kD single pass type II transmembrane protein and member of the C-type lectin superfamily. LOX-1 is a scavenger receptor and is involved in endocytosis, phagocytosis and cytokine production. CLEC8A is expressed by endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, platelets, fibroblasts, macrophages, and is upregulated by inflammatory and oxidative stimuli. LOX-1 recognizes numerous ligands including lipoproteins, apoptotic cells heat shock proteins, C-reactive protein and oxidized LDL. LOX-1 is implicated in atherosclerosis and vascular inflammation.
