Biolegend, 384202, Purified anti-human Integrin αVβ6 Antibody, 100μg

Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane receptors comprising alpha and beta subunits that function as cell anchoring and signaling molecules. The ITGAV gene encodes integrin alpha V, a type I integral membrane glycoprotein known as the vitronectin receptor α chain, or CD51. It forms a heterodimer with integrin β1 (CD29), β3 (CD61), β5, β6, or β8. Integrin αV contains two disulfide-linked subunits of 125 kD and 24 kD, and is expressed on endothelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, platelets, osteoclasts, neuroblastoma, melanoma, and hepatoma cells. Integrin beta 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB6 gene. The β6 subunit only combines with αV to generate a single heterodimer. Integrin αVβ6 is a subtype of the integrin family expressed exclusively on epithelial cells. Integrin αVβ6 is usually expressed at low or undetectable levels in normal adult tissues but can be highly upregulated during pathological and physiological processes such as wound healing, fibrosis, inflammation, and cancer.
