Anti-Integrine alfa 3/ITGA3 Antibody Picoband® fluoro488 Vervoeging

ITGA3 (INTEGRIN, ALPHA-3), also called CD49C, VLA3 or GAPB3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGA3 gene. It is an integrin alpha subunit which is also a member of the family of cell surface adhesion molecules. This gene is mapped to chromosome 17 and its exact cytogenetic location is 17q21.33. ITGA3 makes up half of the α3β1 integrin duplex that plays a role in neural migration and corticogenesis together with beta-1 subunit.A functional link between DAB1 phosphorylation and ITGA3 signaling drives the timely detachment of migrating neurons from radial glial fibers. Expression of human ITGA3 increased the infectivity of virus for Chinese hamster ovary cells. ITGA3 also contains 13 potential N-glycosylation sites, 2 potential cleavage sites, and the 7 N-terminal repeating units characteristic of ITGAs. Recombinant ITGA3 is expressed as a 150-kD protein as the same size as the native protein by the western blot analysis.

E.coli-derived human Integrin alpha 3/ITGA3 recombinant protein (Position: L96-L324) .

Isoform 1 is widely expressed. Isoform 2 is expressed in brain and heart. In brain, both isoforms are exclusively expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells, whereas in heart isoform 1 is strongly expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells, isoform 2 is detected only on endothelial vein cells.

Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin, laminin, collagen, epiligrin, thrombospondin and CSPG4. Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 provides a docking site for FAP (seprase) at invadopodia plasma membranes in a collagen-dependent manner and hence may participate in the adhesion, formation of invadopodia and matrix degradation processes, promoting cell invasion. Alpha- 3/beta-1 may mediate with LGALS3 the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration.
