Mouse Anti-Canine Integrin Alpha 6 Monoclonal Antibody

Integrin alpha 6, or ITGA6, is a protein subunit of the integrin family that pairs with various beta subunits to form cell surface receptors. These integrins are essential for cell adhesion and communication with the extracellular matrix (ECM), playing a crucial role in processes such as cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. ITGA6 is particularly known for its association with integrin beta 4 (ITGB4), forming a receptor for laminin, a key component of the basement membrane. This interaction is vital for the stability and integrity of epithelial tissues, which line the body cavities and cover the body surfaces.
