Clone Name: 9F10
Light Chain: Kappa
Product Description: The 9F10 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD49d, a 150kD integral membrane protein that is also known as integrin αalpha4 (ITGA4). Together with integrin αbeta1 (CD29), CD49d forms the VLA-4 heterodimer that serves as a receptor for fibronectin and VCAM-1. VLA-4 is widely expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes, thymocytes, and NK cells. CD49d can also dimerize with integrin αbeta7 to form a receptor that binds the mucosal vascular addressin molecule, MAdCAM-1. CD49d is involved in cellular adhesion to other cells as well as extracellular matrix.
Application Note: FACS: 0.25 μg (5 μl) for 10⁵-10⁸ cells in 100 μl sample per test. *Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the researcher.Not tested in other applications.

Background: The gene encodes a member of the integrin alpha chain family of proteins. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain that function in cell surface adhesion and signaling. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that comprise the alpha 4 subunit. This subunit associates with a beta 1 or beta 7 subunit to form an integrin that may play a role in cell motility and migration. This integrin is a therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
