This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This ITGA3 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 875-909 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human ITGA3.
Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin, laminin, collagen, epiligrin, thrombospondin and CSPG4. Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 provides a docking site for FAP (seprase) at invadopodia plasma membranes in a collagen-dependent manner and hence may participate in the adhesion, formation of invadopodia and matrix degradation processes, promoting cell invasion. Alpha- 3/beta-1 may mediate with LGALS3 the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration.
