Anti-Human Integrin αVβ3 (LM609) ColorWheel^® Dye-Ready mAb

ColorWheel^® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel^® antibody with any ColorWheel^® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel^® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel^® technology requires both ColorWheel^® antibody and ColorWheel^® dye for Flow Cytometry application.

This ColorWheel^® Ready monoclonal antibody was developed using our proprietary ZooMAb^® recombinant antibody technology. It offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Integrin Vβ3 (UniProt: P06756/P05106; also known as CD51/CD61) is encoded by the ITGAV/ITGB3 (also known as MSK8, VNRA, VTNR/GP3A) genes (Gene ID: 3685/3690) in human. Integrin V is a single-pass membrane protein that heterodimerizes with a β-subunit. The exact combination of various - and β- subunits dictates the binding specificity of integrins to different ECM components. Although both subunits are required for adhesion, the binding specificity primarily depends on the extracellular region of the -subunit. Integrin V associates with either β1, β3, β5, β6, or β8 in a non-covalent manner. The structural and functional diversity of the integrin family are based upon the pairing abilities of the individual - and β-subunits. Integrins are not constitutively active. Activation of an integrin from low ligand-binding affinity state to high ligand-binding affinity state requires conformational change that can originate from either from their cytoplasmic or extracellular interactions. The recognition site for most integrins that bind the ECM consists of an RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) sequence. Integrins bind to their ligands with low affinity and this binding occurs only when a certain minimum number of integrins are present at specific points known as focal contacts. Integrin Vβ3 serves as a receptor for cytotactin, fibronectin, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin, vitronectin and von Willebrand factor. Both Integrin V and β3 are single-pass membrane proteins that are synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-30 and 1-26, respectively), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form. Their mature forms contain an extracellular domain (aa 31-992/27-718), a transmembrane domain (aa 993-1016/719-741), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1017-1048/742-788).
