Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Integrin alpha 3 also known as ITGA3 or alpha 3 is a protein that plays an important role in cell adhesion and signaling. It forms complexes with other integrins to mediate interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Integrin alpha 3 is a type I transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. This protein is primarily expressed in epithelial tissues including the skin kidneys and respiratory tract.
Biological function summary
Integrin alpha 3 functions as a cell surface receptor that helps regulate cell migration proliferation and differentiation. It is a part of the alpha-3-beta-1 integrin complex which interacts with extracellular proteins like laminin-5 and collagen. This interaction facilitates the transmission of signals from the outside to the inside of the cell affecting various cellular responses and activities.
Pathways
Integrin alpha 3 plays a significant role in the cell signaling and communication pathways. It is involved in the pathways like focal adhesion and MAPK signaling. In these pathways integrin alpha 3 interacts with other proteins such as paxillin and FAK (focal adhesion kinase) which are critical for the downstream signaling that regulates cell shape and movement.
Integrin alpha 3 is linked to conditions like skin blistering diseases and cancers particularly those affecting the epithelial tissues. Alterations in integrin alpha 3 expression or function can disturb cell adhesion leading to diseases like epidermolysis bullosa. Additionally in cancer integrin alpha 3 often collaborates with proteins like MMP-9 to promote tumor invasion and metastasis.
