Extra Details:: Integrin alpha-6 (UniProt P23229; also known as CD49 antigen-like family member F, CD49f, Integrin alpha6B, VLA-6) is encoded by the ITGA6 (also known as ITGA6B) gene (Gene ID 3655) in human. The biological functions attributed to cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are mediated primarily by integrin family transmembrane receptors. A total of 18 alpha and 8 beta integrins have been identified in human. Each alpha integrin pairs up with one beta integrin non-covalently to form a functional heterodimeric dimer. At least 24 distinct integrin heterodimers are known with varying ligand specificities. For example, the alpha6-beta1 integrin is reported to mediate the spreading and laminin-binding of Schwann cells, while the alpha6-beta4 integrin is shown to play a role in the suppression of anoikis in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1ug/ml detected Integrin alpha6 in 10ug of SW480 human colon cancer cell lysate. Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:50 detected Integrin alpha6 in human skin tissue. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
