Anti-Integrin alpha 4 / CD49D Antibody [44H6] (A279319)

Anti-Integrin alpha 4 / CD49D Antibody [44H6]

Mouse monoclonal [44H6] antibody to Integrin alpha 4 / CD49D.

This antibody recognises human CD49d also known as integrin alpha-4 or VLA-4 subunit alpha. CD49d is a ~150kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein with seven FG-GAP repeats, characteristic of alpha integrins, in its extracellular domain. CD49d can be proteolytically cleaved to yield fragments of 80 and 70 kDa. CD49d associates with either CD29 to form VLA-4 or with Integrin beta-7 to form The Peyer's patches-specific homing receptor LPAM-1, involved in the lymphocyte migration and homing to gut-associated lymphoid tissue (Sackstein 2006) through its interaction with MadCam-1, preferentially expressed on Peyer's patch high endothelial venules and postcapillary venules in lamina propria Mouse anti human CD49d, clone 44H6 is reported to induce homotypic aggregation of pre-B cell lines including HOON and NALM-6.
