Specificity
Recognizes the murine integrin beta 1 subunit (CD29), a 110KD cell surface glycoprotein that is widely expressed by a variety of cells including all leucocytes. CD29 forms non-covalent bonds with the integrin alpha subunits, including CD51 and CD49a-f, to form heterodimers. The ligands for these heterodimers include collagen, fibronectin, laminin and vascular adhesion molecule-1. In the immune system beta 1 integrins play an important role in cell adhesion, migration, activation and differentiation. Clone HM beta 1.1 is reported to inhibit beta 1 integrin mediated adhesion. XXX recommend the use of MCA2298EL for this purpose.
