Integrin αX Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Integrin subunit alpha X (ITGAX) Homo sapiens This gene encodes the integrin alpha X chain protein. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This protein combines with the beta 2 chain (ITGB2) to form a leukocyte-specific integrin referred to as inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 4 (CR4) . The alpha X beta 2 complex seems to overlap the properties of the alpha M beta 2 integrin in the adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium cells, and in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013], domain:The integrin I-domain (insert) is a VWFA domain. Integrins with I-domains do not undergo protease cleavage., function:Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 is a receptor for fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence G-P-R in fibrinogen. It mediates cell-cell interaction during inflammatory responses. It is especially important in monocyte adhesion and chemotaxis., similarity:Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family., similarity:Contains 1 VWFA domain., similarity:Contains 7 FG-GAP repeats., subunit:Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Alpha-X associates with beta-2., tissue specificity:Predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes.
