Rabbit anti-Human DCSTAMP Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9H295

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DCSTAMP

Target Full Name

Dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein

Target Function

Probable cell surface receptor that plays several roles in cellular fusion, cell differentiation, bone and immune homeostasis. Plays a role in TNFSF11-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Cooperates with OCSTAMP in modulating cell-cell fusion in both osteoclasts and foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). Participates in osteoclast bone resorption. Involved in inducing the expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in osteoclast precursors. Plays a role in haematopoietic stem cell differentiation of bone marrow cells toward the myeloid lineage. Inhibits the development of neutrophilic granulocytes. Plays also a role in the regulation of dendritic cell (DC) antigen presentation activity by controlling phagocytic activity. Involved in the maintenance of immune self-tolerance and avoidance of autoimmune reactions.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome.

Target Tissue Specificity

Preferentially expressed by dendritic cells (DCs). Detected in both immature and mature DCs. Highly expressed in lymph nodes, lung, kidney and liver. Expressed at lower levels in pancreas, bone marrow, spleen, leukocytes, in freshly isolated peripheral bl

Target Synonyms

DCSTAMP; TM7SF4; Dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein; DC-STAMP; hDC-STAMP; Dendrocyte-expressed seven transmembrane protein; IL-four-induced protein; FIND; Transmembrane 7 superfamily member 4

Target Background

This gene encodes a seven-pass transmembrane protein that is primarily expressed in dendritic cells. The encoded protein is involved in a range of immunological functions carried out by dendritic cells. This protein plays a role in osteoclastogenesis and myeloid differentiation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
