Biotinylated Human Integrin alpha 8 beta 1 (ITGA8&ITGB1) Heterodimer Protein, His, Avitag™&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.

Product Specifications

Background

Specifications

Biotinylated Human ITGA8&ITGB1 Heterodimer Protein, His, Avitag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of ITGA8 and ITGB1, has a calculated MW of 116.4 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 an Avi tag and subunit ITGB1 contains no tag but a basic tail at the C-terminus. The non-reducing (NR) protein migrates as 140-150 kDa (ITGA8) and 100-115 kDa (ITGB1) respectively due to glycosylation.
