This product recognizes mouse CD26, which is also known as thymocyte-activating molecule (THAM). Murine CD26 is a type II integral membrane dipeptidyl-peptidase that is expressed at the cell surface as a heterodimer, of approximately 220 kDa, and has a soluble form in the plasma.

The CD26 molecule is a multifunctional glycoprotein that has ectopeptidase activity and is also reported to be involved in cell adhesion, signal transduction in T lymphocytes and HIV infection. CD26 is differentially expressed on developing thymocytes and is upregulated on activated T-cells but is not expressed on resting and thioglycollate stimulated macrophages. Expression of CD26 has also been reported on cells from a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues including liver, intestine and kidney.
