APC Anti-Mouse LPAM-1 Antibody[DATK32]

DATK32 antibody is specific for a combinatorial determinate of integrin alpha4beta7complex. Integrin alpha4beta7 is composed of a 150 kD (alpha4 or CD49d) and a 130 kD (beta7) heterodimer, also known as CD49d/beta7 or LPAM-1. Belonging to the Ig superfamily, it is found on the majority of peripheral lymphocytes and subsets of thymocytes and bone marrow cells (including mast cell progenitors). Integrin alpha4beta7 binds its ligands, VCAM-1 (CD106), MAdCAM-1 and fibronectin, and plays an important role in lymphocytes adhesion and the direction of migration of blood lymphocytes to the intestine and associated lymphoid tissues. Protein function: Integrin ITGA4/ITGB7 (alpha-4/beta-7) (Peyer patches-specific homing receptor LPAM-1) is an adhesion molecule that mediates lymphocyte migration and homing to gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Integrin ITGA4/ITGB7 interacts with the cell surface adhesion molecules MADCAM1 which is normally expressed by the vascular endothelium of the gastrointestinal tract. Interacts also with VCAM1 and fibronectin, an extracellular matrix component. It recognizes one or more domains within the alternatively spliced CS-1 region of fibronectin. Interactions involve the tripeptide L-D-T in MADCAM1, and L-D-V in fibronectin. Integrin ITGAE/ITGB7 (alpha-E/beta-7, HML-1) is a receptor for E-cadherin. [The UniProt Consortium]
