Source: Human Cells. MW :105.11kD. Recombinant Human Integrin a-5 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Phe42-Tyr995 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Integrin a-5 belongs to the Integrin a chain family and contains 7 FG-GAP repeats. Integrin a-5 joins with Integrin- beta1 to form a fibronectin and laminin receptor which recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposis sarcoma lesions. It is expressed on fibroblasts, endothelial cells, peripheral T cells and platelets. Integrin a-5 undergoes post-translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide-linked light and heavy chains. In addition to adhesion, ITGA5 participates in cell-surface mediated signalling.
Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 µg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freez
