Anti-Integrin beta1 Antibody, clone HM beta 1.1

General description

Integrin beta 1is also known as CD29. It is a transmembrane glycoprotein that forms noncovalent complexes with various Integrin alpha subunits, forming the functional receptors that bind to specific extracellular matrix proteins. Integrin receptors are involved in the regulation of a variety of important biological functions such as hemostasis, embryonic development, wound repair, and prevention of programmed cell death. They are also implicated in abnormal pathological states such as tumor directed angiogenesis, tumor cell growth, and metastasis. These heterodimeric receptors bridge the cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton with proteins present in the extracellular matrix and on adjacent cells. The clustering of integrins on a cell surface leads to the formation of focal contacts. Interactions between integrins and the extracellular matrix lead to activation of signal transduction pathways and regulation of gene expression. Clone HM beta 1.1 is reported to inhibit beta 1 integrin mediated adhesion.
