Integrin alpha6 (CD49f)

• NCBI Gene ID:

  3655

• Reactivity:

  Human

• Storage Conditions:

  May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months 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..

• Specificity:

  Recognizes mouse Integrin alpha6. In cutaneous melanocytic lesions, the level of expression of three integrin subunits (a2, a6, and b3) has been found to be correlated with tumor progression. I7661-36C1 is directed against a6-integrins (Laminin receptor, VLA-6), shows a cytoplasmic staining pattern of uveal and cutaneous melanoma cells. Antibody blocks binding of integrin a6 to laminin P1 and E8.
