Integrin beta1, Activating

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Recognizes human Integrin beta 1. Reacts with calcium-dependent epitopes on the integrin b1 subunit. When bound to b1, activates b1 dependent binding to extra cellular matrix substrates.
