Product Summary for Integrin alpha 4/CD49d Antibody (44H6)

Immunogen

HOON pre-B leukaemia cell line

Specificity

NB100-64903 recognizes CD49d, also known as Integrin alpha 4, which associates with either CD29 (integrin beta 1) or integrin beta 7. CD49d is a 150kD molecule, which may be cleaved to 80kD and 70kD fragments. It is expressed by lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and thymocytes. VLA-4 mediates cell adhesion to VCAM-1 and fibronectin. 44H6 induces homotypic aggregation.

Background: Integrin alpha 4/CD49d

Integrin alpha 4 (also called CD49d) is a 150 kDa protein that possesses a large extracellular domain involved in ligand binding, a single transmembrane domain, and an intracellular regulatory domain possessing multiple sites for phosphorylation. Integrin alpha 4 forms heterodimers with integrins beta 1 and beta 7. Integrin alpha 4 is expressed on leukocytes and leukocyte precursors, neural crest cells, and developing skeletal muscles and is essential for embryogenesis, hematopoiesis, and immune responses. The presence of integrin alpha 4 promotes cell migration and inhibits cell spreading and contractility. Integrin alpha 4 function has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis C, and multiple sclerosis, and therefore, modulation of integrin alpha 4 function has become an important target for drug discovery.
