CD146 Antibody / MCAM / MUC18

• Catalog Number: orb749372
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: The human Mel-CAM gene maps to chromosome 11q23 and encodes a trans-membrane glycoprotein, also designated MCAM, MUC18 or CD146, that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and functions as a Ca2+-independent cell adhesion molecule. MUC18 expression is restricted to advanced primary and metastatic melanomas and to cell lines of the neuroectodermal lineage, but not normal melanocytes. MUC18 / CD146 is found on 80% of advanced primary human melanomas and correlates well with development of metastatic disease.
