This is a highly specific antibody against Integrin Alpha V + Beta 6.
Cross-reactive species details
Due to limited amount of testing and knowledge, not every possible cross-reactivity is known.
Description
The Anti-Integrin Alpha V + Beta 6 is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.
Source
This antibody was obtained by immunization of the host with KLH conjugated synthetic peptide derived from human Integrin Alpha V + Beta 6

Background of the antigen
Integrins are heterodimeric cell surface receptors composed of alpha and beta subunits, which mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix attachments. Aberrant integrin expression has been found in many epithelial tumours. Changes in integrin expression have been shown to be important for the growth and early metastatic capacity of melanoma cells. Integrin alpha-v beta-6 is upregulated in cancers and during tissue remodelling but is absent from resting adult tissues. Integrin alpha-v beta-6 promotes invasion and correlates with poor survival and therefore makes a promising therapeutic target.
