Invitrogen™ Integrin beta 7 Monoclonal Antibody (FIB504), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Beschreibung

The FIB504 MAb reacts with human and mouse integrin beta 7. Integrin beta 7 is a 130 kD glycoprotein which associates with integrin alpha 4 (CD49d) to form the alpha 4 beta 7 integrin LPAM-1, expressed on intraepithelial lymphocytes. It also associates with alpha E (CD103) to form the alpha E beta 7 integrin HML-1, expressed on T cells adjacent to mucosal epithelium and intraepithelial lymphocytes. Main ligands for integrin alpha 4 beta 7 include VCAM-1 (CD106), MAdCAM-1 and fibronectin, while the main ligand of integrin alpha E beta 7 is E-cadherin (CD324). Integrin beta 7 plays an important role in the adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells promoting the transmigration of leukocytes to extravascular spaces during the inflammatory response. The FIB504 antibody has been reported to have blocking activity.
