Anti-alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin [M200 (Volociximab)]
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The product of this gene belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha subunit and a beta subunit that function in cell surface adhesion and signaling. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that comprise the alpha 5 subunit. This subunit associates with the beta 1 subunit to form a fibronectin receptor. This integrin may promote tumor invasion, and higher expression of this gene may be correlated with shorter survival time in lung cancer patients. Note that the integrin alpha 5 and integrin alpha V subunits are encoded by distinct genes. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
Uniprot Description
ITGA5: Integrin alpha-5/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin and fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The alpha subunit is composed of an heavy and a light chain linked by a disulfide bond. Alpha-5 associates with beta-1. Interacts with HPS5 and NISCH. Interacts with RAB21 and COMP. Interacts with HIV- 1 Tat. Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family.

Product Notes
The ITGA5 itga5 (Catalog #AAA488197) is a Recombinant Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin [M200 (Volociximab)] reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Block, Immunohistochemistry (IHC). The antibody binds specifically to a5beta1 integrin, which is part of the superfamily of glycoprotein transmembrane receptors for ligands such as fibronectin, vitronectin, laminins and collagens. The a5beta1 integrin receptor plays a key role in cellular processes such as inflammation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis and tumour metastasis. Comprising the variable domain of the original mouse antibody, a chimeric mouse:human IgG4 version of this antibody has been tested in vivo: In cynomolgus monkeys with laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV), in rabbit models and in human volunteers. The antibody reached Phase II clinical trials with PDL Biopharma and Biogen-Idec. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ITGA5 itga5 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin, Recombinant Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
