Rabbit anti-Human ITGAX Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P20702

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ITGAX

Target Full Name

Integrin alpha-X

Target Function

Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 is a receptor for fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence G-P-R in fibrinogen. It mediates cell-cell interaction during inflammatory responses. It is especially important in monocyte adhesion and chemotaxis.

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Integrin alpha chain family

Target Tissue Specificity

Predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes.

Target Background

This gene encodes the integrin alpha X chain protein. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This protein combines with the beta 2 chain (ITGB2) to form a leukocyte-specific integrin referred to as inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 4 (CR4). The alpha X beta 2 complex seems to overlap the properties of the alpha M beta 2 integrin in the adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium cells, and in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
