Product Specific Information

This antibody binds CD56, present on large granular lymphocytes including natural killer cells.
It does not react with monocytes, granulocytes, B cells, erythrocytes, or platelets.

Target Information

CD56 (NCAM, neural cell adhesion molecule) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin family that serves as an adhesive molecule and is ubiquitously expressed in the nervous system in isoforms ranging from 120–180 kDa.
CD56 is found on T cells and NK cells, and is involved in cell migration, axonal growth, pathfinding, and synaptic plasticity.
Polysialic modification reduces CD56-mediated cell adhesion. Through its extracellular region, CD56 mediates homophilic and heterophilic interactions by binding extracellular matrix components such as laminin and integrins.
CD56 is expressed on most neuroectodermal-derived cell lines, tissues, and neoplasms such as retinoblastoma, medulloblastoma, astrocytomas, and neuroblastoma.
Further, CD56 is a widely used neuroendocrine marker with high sensitivity for neuroendocrine tumors and ovarian granulosa cell tumors.
Diseases associated with CD56 dysfunction include rabies and blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasms.
