Ensure consistent Integrin alpha-1 staining with this pre-prepared IHC kit, supplying reagents tailored for efficient, start-to-finish staining.
Description
Integrins are a large family of cell adhesion receptors that bind extracellular matrix ligands, cell-surface ligands, and soluble ligands. These transmembrane αβ heterodimers form at least 24 distinct combinations of 18 α-subunits and eight β-subunits. In addition to mediating cell adhesion, integrins are crucial for signaling pathways that regulate cellular processes such as migration, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Integrin alpha-1 (ITGA1, CD49a) pairs with beta-1 (ITGB1, CD29) to form a receptor that mediates cell adhesion to collagen and laminin, playing a role in inflammation and fibrosis.

IHC Control Slides
Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls: - Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest. - Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen. - Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.
Tissue Samples
Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.
