Gene Information
human ... ITGA6(3655)
General description
Integrin α-6 (ITGA6) belongs to the integrin superfamily and is expressed in epithelial cells. The gene encoding it is present on chromosome 2q. ITGA6 contains a common β1 chain and many α chains.
Immunogen
Integrin alpha-6 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-ITGA6 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry at a dilution of 1:10against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Integrin α-6 (ITGA6) acts a receptor for laminin on platelets and epithelial cells. It has a very important role in the structural aspects of hemidesmosomes. ITGA6 has a role in neutrophil infiltration and its expression causes the granule contents to be released from neutrophils. These activated neutrophils used their up-regulated ITGA6 to cross fibroblasts. Mutation in this gene leads to pyloric atresia-junctional epidermolysis bullosa syndrome (PA-JEB).
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
