ITGA6 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN118234

Product Details anti-ITGA6 Antibody

Target: ITGA6 (Integrin, alpha 6 (ITGA6))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Dog, Pig, Monkey, Sheep

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This ITGA6 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Immunoprecipitation (IP)

Specificity: This antibody recognises the CD49f-antigen, (VLA-6 alpha-chain). This antibody reacts with platelets, megakaryocytes, T lymphocytes and common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia cells (alpha-6 beta-1). In Immunohistology this clone reacts with epithelial cells of a variety of tissues, peripheral nerves, microvascular endothelial cells, placenta cyto- and syncytiotrophoblasts. Platelet VLA-6 functions as a laminin receptor. This clone has been reported to inhibit platelet adhesion to Laminin. (3)

Purification: Affinity Chromatography on Protein G

Immunogen: BALB/c mouse mammary tumour cells. Spleen cells from immunised Sprague-Dawley rats were fused with cells of the SP2/0 mouse myeloma cell line.

Clone: NKI-GoH3

Isotype: IgG2a

Target Details for ITGA6

Target: ITGA6 (Integrin, alpha 6 (ITGA6))

Alternative Name: CD49f / ITGA6 (ITGA6 Products)

Background: CD49f can form distinct complexes with either the CD29-antigen (VLA beta-chain), resulting in the VLA-6 (alpha-6 beta-1) complex, which is expressed on human platelets, or with the beta-4 integrin resulting in the alpha-6 beta-4 complex which is expressed on various human epithelial cells.Synonyms: CD49 antigen-like family member F, Integrin alpha-6, VLA-6, VLA6

Gene ID: 3655

NCBI Accession: NP_000201

UniProt: P23229

Pathways: CXCR4-mediated Signaling Events, Brown Fat Cell Differentiation, Integrin Complex
