General description

Integrin beta 1, also known as CD29, is a 130 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that forms noncovalent complexes with various Integrin alpha subunits (including alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3, alpha 4, alpha 5, and alpha 6) to form the functional receptors that bind to specific extracellular matrix proteins. Integrin receptors are involved in the regulation of a variety of important biological functions, including embryonic development, wound repair, hemostasis, and prevention of programmed cell death. They are also implicated in abnormal pathological states such as tumor directed angiogenesis, tumor cell growth, and metastasis. These heterodimeric receptors bridge the cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton with proteins present in the extracellular matrix and/or on adjacent cells. Interactions between integrins and the extracellular matrix lead to activation of signal transduction pathways and regulation of gene expression.

Physical form

Rabbit polyclonal serum containing no preservatives

Unpurified

Quality

Western Blot Analysis:
1:500 to 1:1000 dilution of this antibody was used for detection of integrin beta1 in whole cell lysate under non-reducing. Size of beta 1 integrin under non-reduced conditions is approximately 110 kDa; often a 220 kDa dimer is observed as well; beta -1 under reduced conditions runs as a 130kDa band with higher molecular weight aggregates as well.

Specificity

Reactive with human, mouse and rat integrin β-1, as confirmed by western blot. Not reactive with other integrins.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
