CD11b FITC
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes the integrin alpha M chain. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This I-domain containing alpha integrin combines with the beta 2 chain (ITGB2) to form a leukocyte-specific integrin referred to as macrophage receptor 1 ('Mac-1'), or inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 3 ('CR3'). The alpha M beta 2 integrin is important in the adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium, and also in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
Uniprot Description
Function: Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles. It is identical with CR-3, the receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component. It probably recognizes the R-G-D peptide in C3b. Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is also a receptor for fibrinogen, factor X and ICAM1. It recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain.
Subunit structure: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Alpha-M associates with beta-2. Interacts with JAM3. Ref.10 Ref.11
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes.
Domain: The integrin I-domain (insert) is a VWFA domain. Integrins with I-domains do not undergo protease cleavage.
Involvement in disease: Systemic lupus erythematosus 6 (SLEB6) [MIM:609939]: A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.Note: Disease susceptibility may be associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family.Contains 7 FG-GAP repeats.Contains 1 VWFA domain.

Product Notes
The CD11b itgam (Catalog #AAA396566) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CD11b FITC reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CD11b can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CD11b itgam 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 "CD11b, 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
