Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of Integrin alpha-1 (ITGA1). The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
The integrins are a superfamily of cell adhesion receptors that bind to extracellular matrix ligands, cell-surface ligands, and soluble ligands. They are transmembrane αβ heterodimers and at least 24 distinct integrin heterodimers are formed by the combination of 18 α and eight β known subunits. In addition to mediating cell adhesion, integrins also play important roles in modulating signal transduction pathways that control cellular responses including migration, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Integrin alpha-1 (ITGA1, CD49a) combines with the beta 1 subunit (ITGB1, CD29) to form a cell-surface receptor for collagen and laminin. This receptor is involved in cell-cell adhesion and may play a role in inflammation and fibrosis.
