Anti-Human Neprilysin/CD10 Rabbit Recombinant Antibody

CD10, also known as neprilysin, membrane metallo-endopeptidase (MME), neutral endopeptidase (NEP), or common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA), is a 100-kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to peptidase M13 family (PMID: 7760013; 8102558). Among hematopoietic cells, CD10 is expressed on granulocytes, B cell precursors, mature germinal center B cells, a subset of immature thymocytes (PMID: 13679451). CD10 is also expressed on a variety of nonhematopoietic cell types, including bronchial epithelial cells, cultured fibroblasts, bone marrow stromal cells, renal proximal tubular epithelial cells, breast myoepithelium, biliary canaliculi (PMID: 8102558). CD10 is a cell surface peptidase that cleaves peptide bonds on the amino side of hydrophobic amino acids and inactivates a variety of physiologically active peptides. Loss or decreases in CD10 expression have been reported in a variety of malignancies (PMID: 16054017).
