Human Integrin alpha V beta 3 (ITGAV&ITGB3) Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (MALS verified)

Integrin alpha-V/beta-3 (ITGAV:ITGB3) is a receptor for cytotactin, fibronectin, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin, vitronectin and von Willebrand factor. Integrins alpha-IIb/beta-3 and alpha-V/beta-3 recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. Also, Integrin alpha-V/beta-3 acts as a receptor for herpes virus 8/HHV-8, coxsackievirus A9, Hantaan virus, cytomegalovirus/HHV-5, human metapneumovirus, human parechovirus 1 and west nile virus. Furthermore, in case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions.

Human ITGAV&ITGB3 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of ITGAV and ITGB3, has a calculated MW of 112.9 kDa (ITGAV) and 81.8 kDa (ITGB3) . Subunit ITGAV is fused with an acidic tail at the C-terminus and followed by a polyhistidine tag and subunit ITGB3 contains no tag but a basic tail at the C-terminus. The non-reducing (NR) protein migrates as 120-145 kDa (ITGAV) and 85-95 kDa (ITGB3) 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 ITGAV&ITGB3 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (Cat. No. IT3-H52E3) with a linear range of 0.01-0.3 μg/mL (QC tested).
