DAP12 (D7G1X) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total DAP12 protein.

Monkey, Bovine, Dog

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human DAP12 protein.

DNAX-activating protein 12 (DAP12, TYROBP) is a signaling adaptor for several pathogen receptors expressed by cells of the innate immune system (1). The DAP12 protein structure consists of a short extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) (2). DAP12 protein is expressed by hematopoietic cells, including NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, and some γδ T cells and NKT cells (1). DAP12 exists as a homodimer that associates with a variety of receptors involved in pathogen detection, including the KIR family of NK cell receptors (2,3). Ligand binding by DAP12-associated receptors results in phosphorylation of tyrosine residues within the DAP12 ITAM by Src family kinases and leads to activation of Syk or Zap-70 and downstream signaling responses (2).
