CD49d / APC / MZ18-24A9

Product Details
Description CD49d, also known as the alpha4 integrin chain or VLA-4alpha chain, is a 150 kDa cell adhesion protein that is directly involved in mononuclear leukocyte trafficking. Dimerized with beta7 integrin, the resulting alpha4beta7 integrin binds VCAM-1 (CD106), MAdCAM-1, and fibronectin to facilitate the rolling of leukocytes along vascular epithelium. In T cells, on ligation of MAdCAM-1, alpha4beta7 integrin also provides costimulation of T cell receptor/CD3–mediated signaling. | CD49d is expressed on most mononuclear leukocytes, both in circulation or in lymphoid or other tissues, as well as on eosinophils and basophils.

About CD49d
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 in cell surface adhesion and signaling. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that comprise the alpha 4 subunit. This subunit associates with a beta 1 or beta 7 subunit to form an integrin that may play a role in cell motility and migration. This integrin is a therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

About APC
Allophycocyanin (APC) is a fluorescent protein derived from cyanobacteria and red algae and a potent donor fluorophore to create tandem dyes that can be excited off the 633-640 nm laser. APC has an excitation peak at 650 nm and a emission peak at 660 nm.
