This antibody recognises human CD13 also known as aminopeptidase N. CD13 is a single pass type II glycosylated integral membrane protein with a predicted molecular mass of ~110 kDa and an apparent molecular mass of ~150 kDa expressed by granulocytes, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and by myeloid leukaemia cells. CD13 acts as a major cell surface receptor for group 1 coronoviruses which bind to a critical sequence encompassing amino acid residies 288-295. CD13 functions as an aminopeptidase enzyme, a metalloprotease present as both a membrane bound form and also a soluble aminopeptidase N. Mouse anti Human CD13, clone WM15 inhibits infection of cells by human coronavirus but not hepatitis C virus and inhibits aminopeptidase N activity of the CD13 molecule.

General Notes
Mouse anti Human CD13 antibody, clone WM15 recognizes human CD13 also known as aminopeptidase N. CD13 is a single pass type II glycosylated integral membrane protein with a predicted molecular mass of ~110 kDa and an apparent molecular mass of ~150 kDa expressed by granulocytes, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and by myeloid leukaemia cells (Bradstock et al. 1985). CD13 acts as a major cell surface receptor for group 1 coronoviruses (Breslin et al. 2003) which bind to a critical sequence encompassing amino acid residies 288-295 (Kolb et al. 1997).CD13 functions as an aminopeptidase enzyme, a metalloprotease present as both a membrane bound form and also a soluble aminopeptidase N.Mouse anti Human CD13, clone WM15 inhibits infection of cells by human coronavirus (Lachance et al. 1998) but not hepatitis C virus (Koutsoudakis et al. 2006) and inhibits aminopeptidase N activity of the CD13 molecule (Asmun et al. 1992).
