General description

Macrosialin, also known as CD68, is a member of the lysosomal/endosomal-associated membrane glycoprotein (LAMP) family. It 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. Recombinant human CD68 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.
