Integrin beta 4/CD104 Antibody (M126)

Western Blot: Integrin beta 4/CD104 Antibody (M126) [NBP3-23396] - Western blot analysis of A431 cells serum starved overnight (lanes 1, 3, & 5) and treated with pervanadate (1 mM) for 30 min (lanes 2, 4, & 6). The blots were probed with rabbit polyclonal anti-Integrin beta 4/CD104 (Tyr-1526) (lanes 1 & 2) and anti-Integrin beta 4/CD104 (Tyr-1494) (lanes 3 & 4) or with mouse monoclonal anti-Integrin beta 4/CD104 (lanes 5 & 6).

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Integrin beta 4/CD104 Antibody (M126) [NBP3-23396] - Immunocytochemical labeling of Integrin beta 4/CD104 in control (Top) and pervanadate-treated A431 cells (Bottom). The cells were labeled with mouse monoclonal anti-Integrin beta 4/CD104 (Cytoplasmic region) (left) or rabbit polyclonals anti-Integrin beta 4/CD104 (Tyr-1494) (middle) or anti-Integrin beta 4/CD104 (Tyr-1526) (right), then the antibodies were detected using appropriate secondary antibodies conjugated to DyLight(R) 594.

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.
