Anti-Integrin beta 6 (ITGB6) Antibody

Integrin subunit β 6 (ITGB6) is a β subunit of integrin αvβ6, which is a membrane-spanning heterodimeric glycoprotein. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 2q24.2. ITGB6 is solely expressed on epithelial cells during embryogenesis.

Anti-ITGB6 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry.

Integrin subunit β 6 (ITGB6) contributes to colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis by activating latent transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and maintaining TGFβ-mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Therefore, ITGB6 can be used as a serum marker for CRC. Increased expression of ITGB6 has been observed in various processes requiring tissue remodeling such as wound healing, fibrosis, and cancer. Mutation of the ITGB6 gene leads to the development of autosomal recessive amelogenesis imperfecta, alopecia, periodontitis, and emphysema. Deletion of the gene causes pulmonary dysfunction.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide.
