CD302 (also DCL-1 and CLEC13A) is a 31-36 kDa member of the C-type lectin domain family of proteins. It is expressed on cells involved in phagocytosis, including neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages. CD302 is suggested to facilitate phagocytosis, and participate in cell adhesion. Mature human CD302 is a 210 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 146 aa extracellular domain (ECD) (aa 23-168) plus a 43 aa cytoplasmic region. The ECD possesses a C-type lectin domain (aa 32-152) that apparently cannot bind carbohydrate. CD302 has also been detected in dendritic cells as the C-terminal portion of a 215 kDa fusion protein that involves DEC205. CD302 contributes aa 23-232 to the fusion protein. There is one potential alternative start site at Met63. Over aa 23-168, human CD302 shares 82% aa identity with mouse CD302.

The antibody is stable for at least 1 year from the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody can also be aliquotted and stored at 4°C for 1 month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for many months without detectable loss activity. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
