Scientific Data Images for Mouse/Rat Integrin  alpha8 Antibody

Detection of Mouse Integrin a8 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Mouse Integrin alpha8 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of mouse lung tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Mouse/Rat Integrin a8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4076) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF017). A specific band was detected for Integrin a8 at approximately 150 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Integrin a8 antibody in 4T1 Mouse Breast Cancer Cell Line by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Integrin alpha8 in 4T1 Mouse Breast Cancer Cell Line.

Integrin a8 was detected in immersion fixed 4T1 mouse breast cancer cell line using Goat Anti-Mouse/Rat Integrin a8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4076) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI(blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and cell surface. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.
Detection of Mouse and Rat Integrin a8 antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Mouse and Rat Integrin alpha8 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of mouse lung tissue and rat lung tissue, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Integrin a8 at approximately 150 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Mouse/Rat Integrin a8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4076) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF109). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Background: Integrin alpha 8

Integrin alpha 8 is a 170‑200 kDa member of the Integrin family of adhesion molecules. It forms an exclusive noncovalent heterodimer with Integrin beta1. alpha8 beta1 promotes both cell adhesion and survival and is known to bind to fibronectin, the latency-associated peptide in latent TGF-beta 1 and nephronectin. Mouse Integrin alpha8 is a 1025 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 969 aa extracellular region (aa 38‑1006) and a 29 aa cytoplasmic domain. One isoform may exist that shows a truncation after Ala675 of the precursor. In the ECD, mouse Integrin  alpha8 shares 96% and 90% aa sequence identity with rat and human Integrin  alpha8 protein, respectively.
