Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	6B4
Applications	IF, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	Suitable for Immunoblotting, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections. Recommended Dilutions: 1/50-1/100 for Flow Cytometry, and for Immunohistochemistry with Avidin-Biotinylated Horseradish Peroxidase Complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1/100-1/500 for Immunoblotting applications.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	6B4 is a mouse monoclonal IgG1, k antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a 34 amino acid stretch in the cytoplasmic domain of integrin a6B including an appending N-terminal Cysteine coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
Specificity	It recognizes specifically the cytoplasmic domain of integrin subunit alpha-6B. 6B4 stains the basement membrane zone of ducts and acini of salivary gland, kidney tubules, epithelium of colonic crypts and weakly stains sweat glands and sebaceous glands. A broad species reactivity is expected because of the conserved nature of the epitope.
Formulation	PBS State: Purified State: Liquid purified IgG fraction Preservative: 0.09% Sodium Azide
Concentration	lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Gene Name	integrin subunit alpha 6
Database Link	Entrez Gene 3655 Human UniProt ID P23229
Background	Integrins are a family of heterodimeric membrane glycoproteins consisting of non-covalently associated a and b subunits. More than 18 a and 8 b subunits with numerous splice variant isoforms have been identified in mammals. In general, integrins function as receptors for extracellular matrix proteins. Certain integrins can also bind to soluble ligands or to counter-receptors on adjacent cells, such as the intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), resulting in aggregation of cells. Signals transduced by integrins play a role in many biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. For integrin subunits a3 and a6, two cytoplasmic variants, A and B, have been identified.
Synonyms	Integrin alpha-6, VLA-6, VLA6
