BD, 564886, Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD344 CH3A4A7

The CH3A4A7 monoclonal antibody reacts with an extracellular epitope on human CD344 which is also known as Frizzled family receptor 4 (FZD4) or Frizzled-4. CD344 is a member of the Frizzled family of proteins within the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. CD344 is a receptor for Wnt proteins and participates in the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway (canonical Wnt signaling). Patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) carry mutations in Frizzled-4. This disease is characterized by retinal degeneration and hearing loss. On tissues, CD344 is almost ubiquitously expressed. CD344 is highly expressed in adult heart and skeletal muscle.

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).

5. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
6. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
