Integrin Alpha2 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
ITGA2 encodes the alpha subunit of a transmembrane receptor for collagens and related proteins. The integrin subunit alpha 2 forms a heterodimer with a beta subunit and mediates the adhesion of platelets and other cell types to the extracellular matrix. Loss of the encoded protein is associated with bleeding disorder platelet-type 9. Antibodies against this protein are found in several immune disorders, including neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. This gene is located adjacent to a related alpha subunit gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Research Area: Signal Transduction
