Integrin alpha 4/CD49d Antibody (9C10 (MFR.4.B)) [PE] Summary

• Immunogen: Mouse LyD9 haematopoietic progenitor cells
• Localization: Type I membrane protein
• Specificity: NB100-64905 recognizes murine alpha 4 integrin (CD49d), a 150kD glycoprotein that can associate with either beta 1 integrin (CD29) or beta 7 integrin to form heterodimers CD49d/CD29 (VLA-4) and alpha4/beta7 (LPAM-1) respectively. CD49d is expressed on most lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes and thymocytes. The primary ligands for CD49d are CD106 (VCAM-1), fibronectin and MAdCAM-1. Clone 9C10 (MFR4.B) is reported to significantly inhibit binding of CD49d to CD106 but only when used in combination with clone R1-2 (1) Removal of sodium azide is recommended prior to use in functional assays.

Background

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.
