Name : Human Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 (ITGA8&ITGB1) Heterodimer Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 (ITGA8&ITGB1) Heterodimer Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Phe39-Leu1012(ITGA8) acidic tail & Gln21-Asp728(ITGB1) basic tail.[Accession | P53708(ITGA8)&P05556-1(ITGB1)]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 113.90 kDa (ITGA8) & 83.2 kDa (ITGB1). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 120-140 kDa (ITGA8) and 100-120 kDa (ITGB1) based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human ITGA8&ITGB1 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%.

Background :
Human Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 is a heterodimeric glycoprotein composed of integrin alpha 8 and integrin beta 1 that mainly expressed in smooth muscle cells. It functions as a receptor for Tenascin, Fibronectin, and Vitronectin and can promote attachment, cell spreading, and neurite outgrowth.

Synonyms :
ITGA8&ITGB1; ; α8β1; Integrin alpha 8 beta 1;
