Molecular Characterization: ITGA2(Thr30-Thr1132)6A-His tagMolecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 121.8 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of ITGA2-His is approximately 130-250 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant human ITGA2 Protein with C-terminal6A-His tagThis gene encodes the alpha subunit of a transmembrane receptor for collagens and related proteins. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with a beta subunit and mediates the adhesion of platelets and other cell types to the extracellular matrix. Loss of the encoded protein is associated with bleeding disorder platelet-type 9. Antibodies against this protein are found in several immune disorders, including neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. This gene is located adjacent to a related alpha subunit gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
