Background

Integrin alpha 8 is a 170‑200 kDa member of the Integrin family of adhesion molecules. It forms an exclusive noncovalent heterodimer with Integrin beta 1. alpha 8 beta 1 promotes both cell adhesion and survival and is known to bind to fibronectin, the latency-associated peptide in latent TGF-beta 1 and nephronectin. Mouse Integrin alpha 8 is a 1025 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 969 aa extracellular region (aa 38‑1006) and a 29 aa cytoplasmic domain. One isoform may exist that shows a truncation after Ala675 of the precursor. In the ECD, mouse Integrin  alpha 8 shares 96% and 90% aa sequence identity with rat and human Integrin  alpha 8 protein, respectively.

Limitations
