anti-CD49c / Integrin alpha 3 antibody [17C6] (FITC)
anti-CD49c / Integrin alpha 3 antibody [17C6] (FITC) for Flow cytometry and Human
Overview
| Product Description | FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [17C6] recognizes CD49c / Integrin alpha 3 Mouse anti Human CD49c antibody, clone 17C6 recognizes CD49c, a 150kDa cell surface antigen which is also known as the alpha-3 integrin and as VLA-3. CD49c is very weakly expressed on peripheral blood leucocytes and is not found on platelets. Epithelial cells and endothelial cells express significant levels of CD49c.Mouse anti Human CD49c antibody, clone 17C6 is routinely tested by flow cytometry on A431 epithelial cell cell line. |

| Gene Symbol | ITGA3 |
| Gene Full Name | integrin, alpha 3 (antigen CD49C, alpha 3 subunit of VLA-3 receptor) |
| Background | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of integrins. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain, and function as cell surface adhesion molecules. This gene encodes alpha 3 subunit, which undergoes post-translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide-linked light and heavy chains that join with beta 1 subunit to form an integrin that interacts with many extracellular-matrix proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008] |
| Function | Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin, laminin, collagen, epiligrin, thrombospondin and CSPG4. Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 provides a docking site for FAP (seprase) at invadopodia plasma membranes in a collagen-dependent manner and hence may participate in the adhesion, formation of invadopodia and matrix degradation processes, promoting cell invasion. Alpha-3/beta-1 may mediate with LGALS3 the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 117 kDa |
| PTM | Isoform 1, but not isoform 2, is phosphorylated on serine residues. Phosphorylation increases after phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation. [UniProt] |
