Extra Details:
Integrin alpha 9 beta 1 is one of twelve integrin family adhesion receptors that share the beta 1 (CD29) subunit (1­3). It is the non­covalent heterodimer of 150kD alpha 9 and 130kD beta 1 type I transmembrane glycoprotein subunits (3). The alpha 9 extracellular domain (ECD) contains an N­terminal beta­propeller structure, followed by domains termed thigh, calf­1 and calf­2 (2). The beta 1 ECD contains a vWFA domain, which interacts with the alpha 9 beta­propeller to form a binding domain when the dimer is in the active, extended and open conformation. The 1006 amino acid (aa) mouse alpha 9 extracellular domain (ECD) shares 95% and 89% aa sequence identity with rat and human alpha 9, respectively, while the 708 aa mouse beta 1 ECD shares 98% aa identity with rat and 93­94% with human, bovine, porcine, ovine, canine and feline beta 1. Each subunit has a transmembrane sequence and a short cytoplasmic tail which, for alpha 9, contains binding sites for paxillin and SSAT (spermine/spermidine­N­acetyltransferase) (4, 5). Integrin alpha 9 beta 1 inhibits cell spreading via signaling through paxillin (4). SSAT interaction with alpha 9 beta 1 allows catalysis that lifts spermine/spermidine inhibition of KIR potassium channels, and is shown to enhance cell migration or suppress airway smooth muscle contraction (5, 6). Lymphangiogenic vascular endothelia growth factors VEGF­C and VEGF­D are ligands for Integrin alpha 9 beta 1 (7, 8) Genetic deletion of mouse alpha 9 beta 1 results in a fatal chylothorax due to abnormal lymphatic development (9). Integrin alpha 9 beta 1 interacts in cis with G­CSF R and enhances its signals, contributing to granulopoiesis (10). It also binds VCAM­1, which promotes neutrophil transendothelial migration and delays apoptosis (11, 12). Other ligands for alpha 9 beta 1 include polydom/SVEP1, tenascin, osteopontin, nerve growth factor, and most members of the ADAM family (13­16). Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse Integrin alpha 9 beta 1, CHO-derived. Molecular Weight: ~120-160kD Activity: Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of CHO Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with VCAM-1. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.6-3ug/ml. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 6 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
