Human Integrin alpha V beta 6 (ITGAV&ITGB6) Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (MALS verified)

Integrin alpha V beta 6 is a heterodimer of beta-6 associating with alpha-V. Integrin alpha-V beta-6 is a receptor for fibronectin and cytotactin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. Internalisation of integrin alpha-V beta-6 via clathrin-mediated endocytosis promotes carcinoma cell invasion. Also, Integrin alpha-V beta-6 acts as a receptor for coxsackievirus A9 and coxsackievirus B1 as well as herpes simplex virus-1/HHV-1. Furthermore, it binds the TGF-beta latency‑associated peptide (LAP) and activates TGF-beta 1 or TGF-beta 3 from large latent complexes. This activation requires interaction with LTBP-1 and fibronectin, and is enhanced by PAR-1.

Product Specifications

Background

Specifications

Human ITGAV&ITGB6 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of ITGAV and ITGB6, has a calculated MW of 112.9 kDa (ITGAV) & 79.6 kDa (ITGB6) . Subunit ITGAV is fused with an acidic tail at the C-terminus and followed by a polyhistidine tag and subunit ITGB6 contains no tag but a basic tail at the C-terminus. The protein migrates as 85 kDa (ITGB6) and 140 kDa (ITGAV) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
