Function: Integral membrane protein associated with integrins, which regulates different processes, such as sperm-egg fusion, platelet activation and aggregation, and cell adhesion (PubMed:8478605, PubMed:14575715, PubMed:18541721) . Present at the cell surface of oocytes and plays a key role in sperm-egg fusion, possibly by organizing multiprotein complexes and the morphology of the membrane required for the fusion (By similarity) . In myoblasts, associates with CD81 and PTGFRN and inhibits myotube fusion during muscle regeneration (By similarity) . In macrophages, associates with CD81 and beta-1 and beta-2 integrins, and prevents macrophage fusion into multinucleated giant cells specialized in ingesting complement-opsonized large particles (PubMed:12796480) . Also prevents the fusion between mononuclear cell progenitors into osteoclasts in charge of bone resorption (By similarity) . Acts as a receptor for PSG17 (By similarity) . Involved in platelet activation and aggregation (PubMed:18541721) . Regulates paranodal junction formation (By similarity) . Involved in cell adhesion, cell motility and tumor metastasis (PubMed:8478605, PubMed:7511626) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Detected in platelets (at protein level) (PubMed:19640571) . Expressed by a variety of hematopoietic and epithelial cells (PubMed:19640571) .

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.
