AHP1677 specifically recognises human CD344, otherwise known as Frizzled-4 (FZD4), a seven-transmembrane domain protein and member of the G-protein coupled receptor Fz/Smo family, which acts as a receptor for Wnt proteins in the activation of the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway.
There is evidence that CD344 may play a role in retinal angiogenesis, since defects in CD344 are responsible for the familial retinal disease known as exudative vitreoretinopathy 1 (FEVR), and also the cause of the retinal neovascularization disease, Criswick-Schepens syndrome. CD344 has been shown to be a marker for neuronal stem cells.

Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human CD344 was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
