Application

Research Sub CategoryIntegrins

MAB1956Z is suitable for use in attachment inhibition assays using fibroblasts, endothelial cells, platelets and T & B lymphocytes on fibronectin.

MAB1956Z is not reactive with the denatured alpha 5 subunit. For immunoblotting, a dot blot is suggested as an alternative to western blotting.

This Anti-Integrin α5 Antibody, clone P1D6, azide free is validated for use in IH, FUNC for the detection of Integrin α5.

General description

Integrin alpha 5 belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This gene encodes the integrin alpha 5 chain. Alpha chain 5 undergoes post translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide linked light and heavy chains that join with beta 1 to form a fibronectin receptor. In addition to adhesion, integrins are known to participate in cell surface mediated signalling.
