Anti-Integrin Beta1, clone AIIB2 (Azide Free) Antibody

Integrin beta-1, also known as Fibronectin receptor subunit beta (FNRB), and Glycoprotein IIa (GPIIA), is a transmembrane glycoprotein that forms noncovalent complexes with various alpha integrin subunits to form the functional receptors that bind to specific extracellular matrix proteins. Integrin receptors are involved in cell adhesion and recognition in a variety of processes including embryogenesis, hemostasis, tissue repair, immune response and metatastatic diffusion of tumor cells. Interactions between integrins and extracellular matrix lead to activation of signal transduction pathways and regulation of gene expression. Phosphorylation of threonines 788 and 789 on integrin beta1 receptor may play a key role in cell-cycle dependent regulation.
