Novus Integrin beta 4/CD104 Antibody (450-9D) [FITC], 0.1 mg Item ID: NOVNB10063326

Integrin beta 4/CD104 Antibody (450-9D) [FITC] Summary

Immunogen	Purified alpha6 beta4 integrin from A431 cells
Specificity	NB100-65599 recognizes the human beta4 integrin (also known as CD104), a 205kD glycoprotein which associates with the alpha6 integrin to form the alpha6/beta4 complex. CD104 is expressed on epithelial cells, Schwann cells and various tumour cell lines. NB100-65599 recognizes an extracellular epitope on the CD104 molecule.
Isotype	IgG1
Clonality	Monoclonal
Host	Mouse
Gene	ITGB4
Purity	Protein G purified

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.
