The ITGA6 protein product is the integrin alpha chain alpha 6. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. For example, alpha 6 may combine with beta 4 in the integrin referred to as TSP180, or with beta 1 in the integrin VLA-6. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Titration of the ITA6 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

ITA6 recombinant protein was used to produce this monoclonal antibody.

Aliquot the ITA6 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder.Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
