Overview
| Product Description | Rat Monoclonal antibody [NKI-GoH3] recognizes CD49f / Integrin alpha 6 Rat anti Human CD49f antibody, clone NKI-GoH3 recognizes CD49f, also known as the VLA-6 alpha chain, CD49f is a 1107 amino acid ~120 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that forms distinct complexes with CD29 (VLA beta-chain), resulting in the VLA-6 (alpha-6 beta-1) complex, expressed on human platelets, or with the beta-4 integrin resulting in the alpha-6 beta-4 complex expressed on various human epithelial cells. Rat anti Human CD49f antibody, clone NKI-GoH3 reacts with platelets, megakaryocytes, T lymphocytes and common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia cells (alpha-6 beta-1). In immunohistology the monoclonal antibody reacts with epithelial cells of a variety of tissues, peripheral nerves, microvascular endothelial cells, placenta cyto- and syncytotrophoblasts.VLA-6 is an important mediator of cell binding to laminin. Rat anti Human CD49f antibody, clone NKI-GoH3 blocks the binding of cells to the E8 fragment of laminin (Sonnenberg et al. 1998). |

| 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. |
