Integrin beta 4/CD104 Antibody (450-9D) [Allophycocyanin/Cy7] Summary

• Immunogen: Purified alpha6 beta4 integrin from A431 cells
• Specificity: NB100-65599 recognizes the human beta4 integrin (also known as CD104), a 205kD glycoprotein which associates with the alpha6 integrin to form the alpha6/beta4 complex. CD104 is expressed on epithelial cells, Schwann cells and various tumour cell lines. NB100-65599 recognizes an extracellular epitope on the CD104 molecule.
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: ITGB4
• Purity: Protein G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Flow Cytometry

• Application Notes: Optimal dilution of this antibody should be experimentally determined. For optimal results using our Tandem dyes, please avoid prolonged exposure to light or extreme temperature fluctuations. These can lead to irreversible degradation or decoupling. When staining intracellular targets, specific attention to the fixation and permeabilization steps in your flow protocol may be required. Please contact our technical support team at technical@novusbio.com if you have any questions.

Background

Integrin beta 4 is a glycoprotein which associates with the a6 integrin to form the a6/b4 complex. Integrin alpha 6/beta 4 is a receptor for laminin. It plays a critical structural role in the hemidesmosome of epithelial cells. Defects in Integrin beta 4 gene are a cause of epidermolysis bullosa letalis with pyloric atresia (EB PA); also known as junctional epidermolysis bullosa with pyloric atresia (PA-JEB) or aplasia cutis congenita with gastrointestinal atresia. EB-PA is characterized by mucocutaneous fragility and gastrointestinal atresia, which most commonly affects the pylorus. Moreover, defects in Integrin beta 4 gene are a cause of generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa (GABEB). This nonlethal form of junctional epidermolysis bullosa is characterized by life long blistering of the skin, associated with hair and tooth abnormalities.
