Overview
CD49c / Integrin alpha 3 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein proteolytically cleaved into two disulfide linked chains. It noncovalently associates with CD29 (integrin beta 1) to form the VLA-3 complex, an adhesion receptor for extracellular matrix components (fibronectin, laminin 1, laminin 5, entactin, and collagen) . It is expressed on adherent cells, mainly on fibroblasts, epithelial cells and endothelial cells.
Specificity:
The mouse monoclonal antibody ASC-1 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD49c (integrin alpha 3), a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of disulfide linked 125 kDa and 30 kDa chains, and expressed on adherent cell lines and to a lesser extent on T and B cells and monocytes.
