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
ITGAM: a single-pass type I membrane protein of the integrin alpha chain family. Implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles. Also known as CR-3, the receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component. It probably recognizes the RGD peptide in C3b. A receptor for fibrinogen, factor X and ICAM1. Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Alpha-M associates with beta-2. Predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes.

Product Notes
The ITGAM itgam (Catalog #AAA837194) is an Antibody produced from Chicken and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Integrin alpha M can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, User optimized. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ITGAM 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 "Integrin alpha M, Polyclonal 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
