PE Rabbit anti-Human Integrin alpha 3/CD49c mAb

The gene encodes a member of the integrin alpha chain family of proteins. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain that function as cell surface adhesion molecules. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that comprise the alpha 3 subunit. This subunit joins with a beta 1 subunit to form an integrin that interacts with extracellular matrix proteins including members of the laminin family. Expression of this gene may be correlated with breast cancer metastasis. Synonyma: JEB7, VL3A, CD49C, FRP-2, GAPB3, ILNEB, MSK18, VCA-2, VLA3a, GAP-B3
