CD36, also known as platelet glycoprotein 4 or fatty acid translocase, serves as a multifunctional scavenger receptor with critical roles across diverse biological processes. This transmembrane glycoprotein mediates long-chain fatty acid uptake, recognizes oxidized low-density lipoproteins, and participates in thrombospondin-dependent cell adhesion. Its involvement in lipid metabolism, inflammatory signaling, and angiogenesis regulation makes CD36 a compelling target for researchers investigating metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, tumor progression, and immune cell function.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 13B12, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Developed using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this rabbit IgG eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide derived from human CD36 and purified by affinity chromatography, ensuring high specificity for your target.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance in immunohistochemistry applications, with successful staining confirmed in paraffin-embedded human spleen tissue and human liver cancer specimens. Working dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200 provide flexibility for optimization across different tissue types and detection systems. The validated IHC protocol employs citrate buffer antigen retrieval and standard polymer-based detection, integrating smoothly into established laboratory workflows.
Whether you are exploring CD36's role in macrophage foam cell formation, investigating its contribution to tumor microenvironment dynamics, or examining fatty acid metabolism in metabolic disease models, this antibody provides a dependable tool for immunohistochemical analysis. Its applicability to both normal and pathological human tissues supports investigations spanning cancer biology, cardiovascular research, immunology, and metabolic studies.
