Clone: 54B3
Background: Integrins are a family of heterodimeric membrane glycoproteins consisting of non-covalently associated α and β subunits. More than 18 α and 8 β subunits with numerous splice variant isoforms have been identified in mammals. In general, integrins function as receptors for extracellular matrix proteins. Certain integrins can also bind to soluble ligands or to counter-receptors on adjacent cells, such as the intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), resulting in aggregation of cells. Signals transduced by integrins play a role in many biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, migRation and apoptosis. For integrin subunits α3 and α6, two cytoplasmic variants, A and B, have been identified.
Source: 54B3 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c Mouse immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a 32 amino acid stretch in the cytoplasmic domain of integrin α3B including an appending N-terminal cysteine (CTRYYQIMPKYHAVRIREEERYPPPGSTLPTKK) coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
Specificity: 54B3 recognizes specifically the cytoplasmic domain of integrin subunit α3B which is present in microvascular structures in brain and heart.
Formulation: Each vial contains 100 ul 1 mg/ml purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide.
