Full Description
A transmembrane protein on the surface of human erythrocytes, Glycophorin A serves as a marker of erythroid differentiation. It is expressed throughout erythroid maturation and in blast cells of erythroleukemia, but does not react with acute lymphoblastic or myeloblastic leukemia. This antibody targets an extracellular epitope specific to glycophorin A without cross-reacting with glycophorin D.
