Glycophorin A / CD235a(A63-B/C2) , 0.2mg / mL

Recognizes a sialoglycoprotein of 39 kDa , identified as glycophorin A (GPA). It is present on red blood cells (RBC) and erythroid precursor cells. It has been shown that glycophorin acts as the receptor for Sandei virus and parvovirus. Glycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB) , which are single , trans-membrane sialoglycoproteins. GPA is the carrier of blood group M and N specificities , while GPB accounts for S and U specificities. GPA and GPB provide the cells with a large mucin like surface and it has been suggested this provides a barrier to cell fusion , so minimizing aggregation between red blood cells in the circulation.This antibody is available purified with BSA/azide at 200 ug/ mL , or BSA/azide-free at 1 mg / mL.
