Integrin beta 1 Antibody / ITGB1 / CD29

Integrin beta-1, also known as CD29, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB1 gene. CD29 is an integrin unit associated with very late antigen receptors. It is known to conjoin with alpha-3 subunit to create alpha3beta1 complex that reacts to such molecules as netrin-1 and reelin. This gene contains a beta subunit that appears to be analogous to band-3 of integrin. It is mapped to 10p11.22. It is found that FER mediates crosstalk between CDH2 and CD29. Integrin family members are membrane receptors involved in cell adhesion and recognition in a variety of processes including embryogenesis, hemostasis, tissue repair, immune response and metastatic diffusion of tumor cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a beta subunit.
