Background InformationIntegrins are a family of heterodimeric membrane glycoproteins consisting of non-covalently associated alpha and beta subunits. More than 18 alpha and 8 beta subunits with numerous splice variant isoforms have been identified in mammals. In general, integrins function as receptors for extracellular matrix proteins. Certain integrins can also bind to soluble ligands or to counter-receptors on adjacent cells, such as the intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), resulting in aggregation of cells. Signals transduced by integrins play a role in many biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. For integrin subunits alpha 3 and alpha 6, two cytoplasmic variants, A and B, have been identified.

SpecificityAnti-Integrin alpha 3B recognizes the cytoplasmic domain of integrin alpha 3B. Integrin alpha 3B is present in the microvascular structures in brain and heart.

SPECIES REACTIVITIES:

Although untested, a broad species reactivity is expected due to the conserved nature of the epitope.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryITGA3 encodes the integrin alpha 3 chain. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Alpha chain 3 undergoes post-translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide-linked light and heavy chains that join with beta 1 to form an integrin that interacts with many extracellular-matrix proteins. The alpha 3 beta 1 integrin is known variously as: very late (activation) antigen 3 ('VLA-3'), very common antigen 2 ('VCA-2'), extracellular matrix receptor 1 ('ECMR1'), and galactoprotein b3 ('GAPB3').

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P26006 # Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin, laminin, collagen, epiligrin, thrombospondin and CSPG4. Alpha- 3/beta-1 may mediate with LGALS3 the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration.
SIZE: 1066 amino acids; 118698 Da
SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The alpha subunit is composed of an heavy and a light chain linked by a disulfide bond. Alpha-3 associates with beta-1. Interacts with HPS5.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform alpha-3A is widely expressed. Isoform alpha-3B is expressed in brain and heart. In brain, both isoforms are exclusively expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells, whereas in heart isoform alpha-3A is strongly expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells, isoform alpha-3B is detected only on endothelial vein cells.
PTM: Isoform alpha-3A, but not isoform alpha-3B, is phosphorylated on serine residues. Phosphorylation increases after phorbol 12- myristate 13-acetate stimulation.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P26006 ## Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. & Contains 7 FG-GAP repeats.
