Product Specific Information

Description: This P1B5 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD49c (also known as Integrin alpha 3). Integrins constitute a family of cell surface receptors that mediate adhesion between cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix. These proteins are heterodimers consisting of two distinct subunits, alpha and beta. Integrins are expressed on hematopoietic, non-hematopoietic, and cancer cells. Integrin-mediated adhesion is regulated by changes in ligand affinity (or activation), cell shape, and integrin clustering and diffusion. Integrin alpha 3 forms a complex with the common beta 1 subunit to form the alpha3beta1 integrin. Studies have demonstrated the involvement of this integrin in wound healing and epithelial migration.

The P1B5 monoclonal antibody has been reported to affect adhesion to type I and VI collagens, as well as fibronectin and laminin.

Applications Reported: This P1B5 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested: This P1B5 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.125 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 660 nm; Laser: Red Laser.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Target Information

ITGA3 (INTEGRIN, ALPHA-3), also called CD49C, VLA3 or GAPB3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGA3 gene. ITGA3 is an integrin alpha subunit which is also a member of the family of cell surface adhesion molecules. ITGA3 is mapped to chromosome 17 and its exact cytogenetic location is 17q21.33. ITGA3 makes up half of the alpha3beta1 integrin duplex that plays a role in neural migration and corticogenesis together with beta-1 subunit. A functional link between DAB1 phosphorylation and ITGA3 signaling drives the timely detachment of migrating neurons from radial glial fibers. Expression of human ITGA3 increased the infectivity of virus for Chinese hamster ovary cells. ITGA3 also contains 13 potential N-glycosylation sites, 2 potential cleavage sites, and the 7 N-terminal repeating units characteristic of ITGAs. Recombinant ITGA3 is expressed as a 150-kD protein as the same size as the native protein by the western blot analysis.
