| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | CD72 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | CD72 |
|---|---|
| Function | Co-receptor of B cell receptor (BCR) that plays both positive and negative roles on B-cell functions. Recognizes the Sm/ribonucleoprotein (RNP) self-antigen ligand, and coligation of CD72 and BCR inhibits BCR signaling. Mechanistically, ligand binding leads to the recruitment of PTPN6/SHP-1 to the BCR complex which is inhibitory to BCR signaling. Also acts as a ligand for CD5 and thereby plays a critical role in maintaining regulatory T and B-cell homeostasis. |
| Cellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. |
| Tissue Location | Pre-B-cells and B-cells but not terminally differentiated plasma cells |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
