Overview
Product Description | Mouse Monoclonal antibody [450-30A] recognizes CD49f / Integrin alpha 6 Mouse anti Human CD49f antibody, clone 450-30A recognizes the human VLA-6 cell surface antigen, also known as the alpha 6 integrin and as CD49f. CD49f is expressed by platelets, weakly by monocytes and by a subset of lymphocytes. CD49f is also widely expressed on epithelial tissues. |

Application Note | IHC-Fr: The epitope recognized by this antibody is reported to be sensitive to formaldehyde fixation and tissue processing. Arigo recommends the use of acetone fixation for frozen sections. FACS: Use 10 µl of the suggested working dilution to label 10^6 cells in 100 µl. * The dilutions indicate recommended starting dilutions and the optimal dilutions or concentrations should be determined by the scientist. |

Gene Symbol | ITGA6 |
Gene Full Name | integrin, alpha 6 |
Background | The ITGA6 protein product is the integrin alpha chain alpha 6. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. For example, alpha 6 may combine with beta 4 in the integrin referred to as TSP180, or with beta 1 in the integrin VLA-6. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function | Integrin alpha-6/beta-1 is a receptor for laminin on platelets. Integrin alpha-6/beta-4 is a receptor for laminin in epithelial cells and it plays a critical structural role in the hemidesmosome. [UniProt] |
Calculated MW | 127 kDa |
PTM | Isoforms containing segment A, but not segment B, are the major targets for PMA-induced phosphorylation. Phosphorylation occurs on 'Ser-1103' of isoform alpha-6X1X2A. Phosphorylation is not required for the induction of integrin alpha-6A/beta-1 high affinity but may reduce the affinity for ligand. In invasive prostate cancer ITGA6 undergoes PLAU-mediated cleavage at residues Arg-634-635-Arg in a time-dependent manner enhancing cell invasion and migration in vitro. Palmitoylation by DHHC3 enhances stability and cell surface expression. [UniProt] |
