Human Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 (ITGA8&ITGB1) Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free

Human Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 Heterodimer Protein consists of ITGA8 and ITGB1. The integrin alpha 8 subunit, isolated by low stringency hybridization, is a novel integrin subunit that associates with beta 1. The recently identified alpha 8 integrin subunit associates with beta 1 and is predominantly expressed in smooth muscle and other contractile cells in adult tissues, and in mesenchymal and neural cells during development. In addition, Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 is a receptor for fibronectin and can promote attachment, cell spreading, and neurite outgrowth on fibronectin.

Human ITGA8&ITGB1 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of ITGA8 and ITGB1, has a calculated MW of 114.6 kDa (ITGA8) and 83.7 kDa (ITGB1) . Subunit ITGA8 is fused with an acidic tail at the C-terminus and followed by a polyhistidine tag and subunit ITGB1 contains no tag but a basic tail at the C-terminus. The non-reducing (NR) protein migrates as 140-170 kDa (ITGA8) and 100-115 kDa (ITGB1) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker respectively due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.

Immobilized Human Fibronectin at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Human ITGA8&ITGB1 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (Cat. No. IT1-H52W9) with a linear range of 0.016-0.5 μg/mL (QC tested).
