| Specificity | The involvement of integrins in vascular proliferation, adhesion, and wound repair and have been well-documented. The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors consists of at least 16 membrane-associated heterodimers, composed of an alpha and beta subunit that associate in a non-covalent manner. The structure and functional diversity of the integrin family are based upon the pairing abilities of the individual alpha and beta subunits Monoclonal antibody MAB16983Z was produced by immunization with human T lymphocytes. The antibody is reactive with integrin alpha-4 from primate and human species. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene encodes the integrin alpha M chain. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This I-domain containing alpha integrin combines with the beta 2 chain (ITGB2) to form a leukocyte-specific integrin referred to as macrophage receptor 1 (Mac-1), or inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 3 (CR3). The alpha M beta 2 integrin is important in the adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium, and also in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles. Some integrin alpha M proteins contain an inserted amino acid (Q, between AA positions 499 and 500) resulting from a 3bp shift in a splice acceptor that inserts the codon CAG; receptors with or without the extra amino acid are functionally indistinguishable |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P11215 # Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles. It is identical with CR-3, the receptor for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component. It probably recognizes the R-G-D peptide in C3b. Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is also a receptor for fibrinogen, factor X and ICAM1. It recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain. SIZE: 1152 amino acids; 127179 Da SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Alpha-M associates with beta-2. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes. DOMAIN: SwissProt: P11215 The integrin I-domain (insert) is a VWFA domain. Integrins with I-domains do not undergo protease cleavage. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. & Contains 7 FG-GAP repeats. & Contains 1 VWFA domain. |
