Target Information

CD63 (LAMP-3, lysosome-associated membrane protein-3) is a glycoprotein of the tetraspanin family found in late endosomes, lysosomes, and secretory vesicles. It is also present on the plasma membrane following cell activation and is widely used as a basophil activation marker.
CD63 interacts with integrins, influencing phagocytosis, cell migration, and regulation of ion channels such as ROMK1. It also functions as a T-cell costimulation molecule.
Expression of CD63 can serve as a prognostic marker in early-stage carcinomas. It is found on activated platelets, monocytes, macrophages, and weakly on granulocytes, B, and T cells. CD63 is identical to the melanoma-associated antigen ME491 and platelet antigen PTLGP40.
Dysfunction of CD63 is associated with melanoma and Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome.
