Anti-CD49b (mouse) (FITC Conjugated), clone DX5

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µl staining volume or per 100 µl of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.. Protein function: Integrin alpha-2/beta-1 is a collagen receptor, being responsible for adhesion of platelets and other cells to collagens, modulation of collagen and collagenase gene expression, force generation and organization of newly synthesized extracellular matrix. It is also a receptor for laminins, collagen C-propeptides and E-cadherin. Mice homozygous for a null mutation in the alpha-2 die very early in embryogenesis. [The UniProt Consortium]
