Overview

Recognizes human β1-integrin. Beta-1 integrin is a ubiquitously expressed ~89 kDa type Itransmembrane protein functioning as receptor when heterodimerized with one alpha subunit. Itbelongs to the integrin beta chain family consisting of four different genes, encoding multiple beta-integrins via alternative splicing. Ligand-recognition depends on the composition of the heterodimer: either collagen, fibronectin, VCAM1, laminin, cytotactin, osteopontin, epiligrin, thrombospondin and CSPG4 can bind to the integrin-complex. Beta-1 integrins recognize the sequence R-G-D in a widearray of ligands. Isoform beta-1B interferes with isoform beta-1A resulting in a dominant negativeeffect on cell adhesion and migration (in vitro).The monoclonal antibody BV7 does not recognize alpha 5 beta 1 complex and not the cytoplasmic part of the beta 1-subunit. BV7 binds to several other tumor cells (MG3 osteosarcoma, A375 melanoma, MHCC-1410and Lovo colon carcinoma) but does not affect adhesion to endothelial cells.Immunogen: Human umbilical vein EC
