CD61 Monoclonal / FITC / Y2/51

Product Details
Description The CD61 antibody recognizes the human CD61 antigen, which is also known as the integrin beta3–subunit. CD61 associates with CD41 to form the heterodimeric GPIIb/GPIIIa complex that is present on human megakaryocytes and platelets and mediates cell adhesion processes. Together with CD51, CD61 forms the vitronectin receptor, which is present on platelets as well as on a variety of other cell types such as osteoclasts and endothelial vessel cells. The CD61 antibody specifically recognizes the integrin beta3–chain of both heterodimeric complexes.

About CD61
The ITGB3 protein product is the integrin beta chain beta 3. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. Integrin beta 3 is found along with the alpha IIb chain in platelets. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
