General description

Integrins are a family of dimeric proteins that mediate cell-cell and extracellular matrix adhesion. Each VLA subtype (VLA-1, VLA-2, VL-3, VLA-4, VLA-5) is composed of a distinct alpha subunit noncovalently associated with a common beta subunit, as an alpha-beta dimer. Integrin VLA-3 (very late antigen, alpha-3/beta-1) is a cell surface receptor that binds to fibronectin, laminin, collagen type I and VI. VLA-3 is typically restricted in normal tissue but is widely expressed in many cultured tumor cells and correlates with the degree of invasiveness of malignant melanoma cells.

Specificity

Recognizes an epitope related to the VLA-3 complex (alpha-3/beta-1 integrin). Specificity was determined by immunoprecipitation from a detergent extract of 35S-methionine labeled KJ29 cells.

Immunogen

Human renal carcinoma cell line (KJ29).

Application



Immunohistochemistry (works on Acetone-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues)

ELISA/RIA

Immunoprecipitation. When immunoprecipitated samples are run on SDS-PAGE under a) non-reducing conditions, two bands will be detected with an apparent molecular weight of 110 and 150kDa; and b) reducing (2% B-ME) conditions, a single molecular species of 130kDa is detected. Under reducing conditions both alpha3 and beta1 subunits run with the same apparent molecular weight.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
Anti-Integrin α3β1 Antibody, clone M-KID2 detects level of Integrin α3β1 & has been published & validated for use in ELISA, IP, RIA, IC, IH(P).

The tetra-membrane-spanning protein CD9 forms a complex with a membrane-anchored heparin binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and integrin alpha3beta1 in some human and monkey cell lines. We show here the immunohistochemical distribution of CD9, HB-EGF, and integrin alpha3beta1
