Name : Human Integrin alpha 6 beta 1 (ITGA6&ITGB1) Heterodimer Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human Integrin alpha 6 beta 1 (ITGA6&ITGB1) Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag and Avi tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Phe24-Gly1012 (ITGA6) acidic tail and GIn21-Asp728 (ITGB1) basic tail.[Accession | P23229-2(ITGA6)&P05556-1(ITGB1)]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 117.9 kDa (ITGA6) and 83.2 kDa (ITGB1). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 140-160 kDa (ITGA6) and 110-150 kDa (ITGB1) under Non reducing (N) condition 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 :
Supplied as 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4).

Reconstitution :

Storage and Stability :
Valid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80°C. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human ITGA6&ITGB1 on Tris-Bis PAGE under Non reducing (N) condition. The purity is greater than 95%.

Background :
Integrin alpha-6/beta-1 (ITGA6:ITGB1) is a receptor for laminin on platelets. Integrin alpha-6/beta-1 (ITGA6:ITGB1) is present in oocytes and is involved in sperm-egg fusion. Integrin alpha-6/beta-4 (ITGA6:ITGB4) is a receptor for laminin in epithelial cells and it plays a critical structural role in the hemidesmosome (By similarity). ITGA6:ITGB4 binds to NRG1 (via EGF domain) and this binding is essential for NRG1-ERBB signaling

Synonyms :
α6β1; Integrin alpha 6 beta 1; ITGA6&ITGB1;Integrin alpha 6 β 1
