Extra Details:: Integrin alpha11beta1 is a noncovalent heterodimeric collagen receptor that contains a 150kD alpha11 subunit complexed to a 130kD beta1/CD29 subunit. alpha11beta1 is the only known alpha11-containing integrin. By contrast, at least twelve alpha-integrins share the beta1 subunit (1-5). alpha11beta1 is expressed on fibroblasts from cornea, skin and periodontal ligament (3-9). It is also expressed on mesenchymal stem cells and is considered a marker for nonmuscle mesenchymal tissue (3, 810). Expression of alpha11beta1 is stimulated by TGFbeta1, activin A, and type I interferons, and downregulated by FGF2 (6, 9-11). The alpha11 extracellular domain (ECD) contains a vWFA domain which includes the ligand binding site (25). The beta1 ECD also contains a vWFA domain, which participates in binding. Each subunit has a transmembrane sequence and a short cytoplasmic tail. The dimer assumes a folded configuration at "rest". Divalent cations and intracellular (inside-out) signaling convert it to an active, extended and open conformation (1, 2). The 1119 amino acid (aa) mouse alpha11 ECD shares 90% and 95% aa sequence identity with rat and human alpha11, respectively, while the 708aa mouse beta1 ECD shares 98% aa identity with rat and 9394% aa identity with human, bovine, porcine, ovine, canine and feline beta1. I domaincontaining beta1 integrins alpha1beta1, alpha2beta1, alpha10beta1 and alpha11beta1 all bind collagens (3-5). alpha11beta1 preferentially binds interstitial collagens such as type I (5, 8, 12). It can contract collagen matrices and influence inflammatory edema (3, 13). Depending on context, alpha11beta1 can support or inhibit cell migration on collagen (7, 8). It is frequently up-regulated in the stroma of lung adenocarcinomas and enhances tumorigenicity (14, 15). alpha11beta1 is also involved in myofibroblast differentiation in human corneal fibroblasts and human cardiac fibroblasts (9, 16). Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to (Phe23-Pro1141), (Gln21-Asp728) from mouse Integrin alpha 11 beta 1, expressed in CHO cells. Molecular Weight: ~115-135kD Activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA.
