Clone 1A8 recognizes an epitope on mouse Ly6G. Clone 1A8 does not cross react with Ly6C.

Ly6G antibody, clone 1A8, recognizes lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus G6D (Ly6G; also called Gr-1), a 21-25 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein¹. Ly6G belongs to the lymphocyte antigen-6 (Ly6)/urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) superfamily, characterized by a Ly6/uPAR (LU) domain-containing a three-fingered structural motif stabilized by disulfide bonds². Ly6G is expressed by murine neutrophils regardless of location and activation^1,4,5. Eosinophils may also express low levels of Ly6G⁵. There is no human ortholog for Ly6G; however, a structurally related L76/uPAR protein, CD177 (also known as HNA-2a, NB1, or PRV-1) is expressed in human neutrophils and is implicated in neutropenia⁶. Although the exact function and ligand of Ly6G remain unknown, Ly6G ligation may impair neutrophil migration to sites of inflammation via a β2-integrin-dependent mechanism⁷.

Ly6G is expressed by neutrophils.
