| Glycoprotein (gp) 340 is member of the scavenger receptor superfamily and has been identified as a putative SP-D receptor. Gp340 has been shown to bind SP-D in a calcium-dependent manner through a protein-protein interaction (1). Like SP-D, gp340 is found in the lungs and immunohistochemistry analysis shows high expression in alveolar macrophages (1). An identical protein, salivary agglutinin, is present in saliva (2-4) and both gp340 and salivary agglutinin are encoded by the gene DMBT1 (5-7). |

| Catalog # | G8179-10 |
| Applications | Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. |
| Recommended Dilutions | ELISA: A strong reaction is seen when gp340 is directly coated onto the microtiter well. |
| Western Blot: 1:200-1:10,000 (1-4, 6). Strongly reacts with gp340 in both reduced and non-reduced forms in Western Blot after SDS-PAGE. |
| Immunohistochemistry: see references 1,5,6 |
| Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. |
