Background |
The XK Kell blood group complex subunit-related family member 8 (XKR8) is a member of a family of proteins that promote the phagocytosis of dying cells by altering the phospholipid distribution of the plasma membrane (1). XKR8 is thought to be a “scramblase”, an enzyme that eliminates the asymmetry of phospholipid distribution in the plasma membrane. In apoptotic cells, XKR8 promotes the cell-surface exposure of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) which serves as a signal for phagocytosis (1, 2). |
Gene Name |
XKR8 |
Clonality |
Polyclonal |
Concentration |
1 mg/mL |
Contents |
XKR8 antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide. |
Application Details |
XKR8 antibody can be used for detection of XKR8 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/ml. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μg/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μg/mL. Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested. Optimal dilutions for each application should be determined by the researcher. |
Immunogen |
XKR8 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human XKR8. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of XKR8. |
Cross-reactivity |
XKR8 antibody is human reactive. At least two isoforms are known to exist; this antibody will detect both isoforms. |
Purification |
XKR8 antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column. |
Storage |
XKR8 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. |

Protein Function |
Promotes phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface, possibly by mediating phospholipid scrambling. Phosphatidylserine is a specific marker only present at the surface of apoptotic cells and acts as a specific signal for engulfment. Has no effect on calcium-induced exposure of phosphatidylserine. Activated upon caspase cleavage, suggesting that it does not act prior the onset of apoptosis. |
