Description
ITGA4 Monoclonal Antibody (HP2/1). CD49d, also known as integrin alpha-4 or VLA-4 subunit alpha, is a ~150kDa single pass type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that contains seven FG-GAP repeats, characteristic of alpha integrins, in its extracellular domain. CD49d can be proteolytically cleaved to yield framents of 80 and 70kDa. CD49d associates with either CD29 to form VLA-4 or with Integrin beta-7 to form The Peyer patches-specific homing receptor LPAM-1, involved in the lymphocyte migration and homing to gut-associated lymphoid tissue through its interaction with MadCam-1, preferentially expressed on Peyer's patch high endothelial venules and postcapillary venules in lamina propria.
