Anti-Mouse Integrin α5/CD49e (5H10-27) 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.

Integrin alpha-5 (UniProt: P11688; also known as CD49 antigen-like family member E, Fibronectin receptor subunit alpha, Integrin alpha-F, VLA-5, CD49e) is encoded by the Itga5 gene (Gene ID: 16402) in murine species. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an -subunit and a β-subunit that function in cell surface adhesion and signaling. Integrin 5/CD49e is expressed on thymocytes, T cells, monocytes, platelets, early B cells, and activated in B cells. It exhibits an increased expression in mesodermal progenitors and is shown to be prevalent in fetal cardiomyocytes. Its deletion is shown to cause mesodermal defects during embryogenesis in murine models. Membrane fractions obtained from fibroblasts of diabetic animals display significant reduction in integrin 5/CD49e levels. Integrin 5/CD49e is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-44), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains a heavy chain (aa 45-898) and a light chain (aa 899-1053). Structurally, it consists of an extracellular domain (aa 45-999), a transmembrane domain (aa 1000-1025), and a short cytoplasmic domain (aa 1026-1053). It contains four calcium binding sites (aa 480-488; 334-342; 401-409; and 465-473). When associated with β1 subunit it can serve as a receptor for fibronectin and fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. Integrin 5/β1 is reported to bind to PLA2G2A via a site (site 2) that is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and this induces integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1.
