Background:

CD68, which is homologous to the mouse antigen macrosialin, belongs to a family of acidic, highly glycosylated lysosomal glycoproteins (LGPs) that includes lamp-1 and lamp-2. CD68 is found in cytoplasmic granules and in the cytoplasm of various non-hematopoietic tissues including liver and kidney tubules and glomeruli. CD68 is also found, to a lesser extent, on the surface of macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, basophils and large lymphocytes. LGPs are major components of lysosomal membranes and may act to protect the membranes from attack by hydrolases.

Specificity:

CD68 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of CD68 protein.
