Anti-Integrin αVβ1 Antibody

Integrin alpha 5 belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This gene encodes the integrin alpha 5 chain. Alpha chain 5 undergoes post translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide linked light and heavy chains that join with beta 1 to form a fibronectin receptor. In addition to adhesion, integrins are known to participate in cell surface mediated signalling.

MAB1956Z is suitable for use in attachment inhibition assays using fibroblasts, endothelial cells, platelets and T & B lymphocytes on fibronectin.

MAB1956Z is not reactive with the denatured alpha 5 subunit. For immunoblotting, a dot blot is suggested as an alternative to western blotting.
