Anti-Integrin β1 Antibody, clone 6S6

Description

• General description: Integrin beta 1, also known as CD29, is a 130 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that forms noncovalent complexes with various Integrin alpha subunits (including alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3, alpha 4, alpha 5, and alpha 6) to form the functional receptors that bind to specific extracellular matrix proteins. Integrin receptors are involved in the regulation of a variety of important biological functions, including embryonic development, wound repair, hemostasis, and prevention of programmed cell death. They are also implicated in abnormal pathological states such as tumor directed angiogenesis, tumor cell growth, and metastasis. These heterodimeric receptors bridge the cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton with proteins present in the extracellular matrix and/or on adjacent cells. Interactions between integrins and the extracellular matrix lead to activation of signal transduction pathways and regulation of gene expression.
• Specificity: Reacts with the human integrin beta1 subunit. Specificity verified by preclearing of beta1in immunoprecipitation, flow cytometry on transfectant cells displaying human beta1 integrin, and reactivity with purified beta1. Similar in behavior and characteristics to antibody clone 3S3 (Wilkins et al., 1996).
