Gene Information

human ... ITGA8(8516)

General description

Integrin α-8 (ITGA8) is a transmembrane protein. This protein is encoded by the ITGA8 gene in humans. The gene is highly expressed in smooth muscle and smooth muscle-like contractile cells. The ITGA8 gene is located on the human chromosome at 10p13.

Immunogen

Integrin alpha-8 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-ITGA8 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in tissue labeling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Integrin α-8 (ITGA8) plays a role in cell adhesion and cell signaling.
Integrin a-8 (ITGA8) plays an important role in organogenesis and is also expressed highly during kidney and lung development. It may be associated with schizophrenia. Mutation in this gene causes bilateral renal agenesis.

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:
  • 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.

Renal hypodysplasia (RHD) is a heterogeneous condition encompassing a spectrum of kidney development defects including renal agenesis, hypoplasia, and (cystic) dysplasia. Heterozygous mutations of several genes have been identified as genetic causes of RHD with various severity. However, these genes
