Alternative Names:

CD51; integrin alpha-V; ITAV; MSK8; vitronectin receptor alpha; VNRA

Application:

WB IHC

Reactivity:

Human, Mouse

Dilution:

WB 1:500-1:2000 IHC 1:50-1:200

	Western blot analysis of Integrin αV expression in HeLa cells

Purification:

Affinity-chromatography

Specificity:

Integrin αV Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Integrin αV

Immunogen:

A synthesized peptide derived from human Integrin αV

Description:

The alpha-V integrins are receptors for vitronectin, cytotactin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vWF. They recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions.

Storage Condition and Buffer:

Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline , pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. Store at +4°C short term. Store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle.
