Description:
Anti-Integrin α4, clone P1H4
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Specificity:
The involvement of integrins in vascular proliferation, adhesion, and wound repair and have been well-documented. The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors consists of at least 16 membrane-associated heterodimers, composed of an alpha and beta subunit that associate in a non-covalent manner. The structure and functional diversity of the integrin family are based upon the pairing abilities of the individual alpha and beta subunits. Monoclonal antibody MAB16983 was produced by immunization with human T lymphocytes. The antibody is reactive with integrin a4 from primate and human species.

Entrez Gene Summary:
The product of this gene belongs to the integrin alpha chain family of proteins. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This gene encodes an alpha 4 chain. Unlike other integrin alpha chains, alpha 4 neither contains an I-domain, nor undergoes disulfide-linked cleavage. Alpha 4 chain associates with either beta 1 chain or beta 7 chain.
Key Applications:
- ELISA
- Flow Cytometry
- Immunoprecipitation
- Immunocytochemistry
- Immunohistochemistry
- Affects Function
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: Integrins alpha-4/beta-1 (VLA-4) and alpha-4/beta-7 are receptors for fibronectin. They recognize one or more domains within the alternatively spliced CS-1 and CS-5 regions of fibronectin. They are also receptors for VCAM1. Integrin alpha-4/beta-1 recognizes the sequence Q-I-D-S in VCAM1. Integrin alpha-4/beta-7 is also a receptor for MADCAM1. It recognizes the sequence L-D-T in MADCAM1. On activated endothelial cells integrin VLA-4 triggers homotypic aggregation for most VLA-4-positive leukocyte cell lines. It may also participate in cytolytic T-cell interactions with target cells.
SIZE: 1032 amino acids; 114,900 Da
SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The alpha subunit can sometimes be cleaved into two non-covalently associated fragments. Alpha-4 associates with either beta-1 or beta-7. Alpha-4 interacts with PXN, LPXN, and TGFB1I1/HIC5. Interacts with CSPG4 through CSPG4 chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
DOMAIN: The SG1 motif is involved in binding to chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan and cell adhesion.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. Contains 7 FG-GAP repeats.
