SYNONYMS
Integrin beta-4, GP150, CD104, ITGB4, Integrin Subunit Beta 4, CD104 Antigen, Integrin, Beta 4, Integrin Beta-4.
INTRODUCTION
ITGB4 (integrin beta-4 isoform 1) belongs to the Integrin beta family. ITGB4 forms noncovalent heterodimers with Integrin alpha 6 and takes part in the formation of epithelial hemidesmosomes. ITGB4 has a vital structural role in the hemidesmosome of epithelial cells and is needed for the regulation of keratinocyte motility & polarity. ITGB4 leans towards the association with alpha 6 subunit and is expected to take a key role in the biology of invasive carcinoma.
DESCRIPTION
ITGB4 produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 691 amino acids (28-710a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 77.5kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 70-100kDa). ITGB4 is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
SOURCE
Sf9, Baculovirus cells.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
FORMULATION
ITGB4 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) & 10% glycerol.
STABILITY
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
