Integrin alpha 6 (ITGA6) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: Mab-5A]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	Mab-5A
Applications	FC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry: Use 10 µl of neat antibody to label 106 cells in 100 µl.
Reactivity	Rat
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Rat oesophageal carcinoma cell line B2T. Spleen cells from immunised BALB/c mice were fused with cells of the mouse SP2/0 myeloma cell line.
Specificity	This CD49f antibody, clone Mab-5A recognizes Rat CD49f, also known as Integrin alpha-6, VLA-6 or CD49 antigen-like family member F. CD49f is a 1130 amino acid ~130 kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein which functions as a receptor for laminin when in association with either beta-1 or beta-4 integrins on platelets and epithelial cells respectively. Clone Mab-5A does not react with Rat fibroblasts.
Formulation	PBS Label: PE State: Purified State: Lyophilized purified IgG fraction Stabilizer: 1% BSA, 5% Sucrose Preservative: 0.09% Sodium Azide
Reconstitution Method	Restore with 1.0ml distilled water
Purification	Affinity Chromatography on Protein G
Conjugation	PE
Storage Condition	Store lyophilized at 2-8°C for 6 months or at -20°C long term. After reconstitution store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C long term. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	integrin subunit alpha 6
Database Link	UniProt ID P23229
Background	CD49f is a 120 kD integrin family member, also known as VLA-6 alpha chain and alpha6 integrin subunit. CD49f associates with either integrin beta1 (CD29) or integrin beta4 (CD104) to form receptors (VLA-6 or alpha6 beta4 complex) for laminin and kalinin. CD49f is expressed on platelets, monocytes, T cells, placental trophoblasts, epithelial and endothelial cells. CD49f is involved in adhesion and can act as a co-stimulatory molecule for T cell activation and proliferation.
Synonyms	Integrin alpha-6, VLA-6, VLA6
