Integrin alpha-4, encoded by the ITGA4 gene and commonly known as CD49d, plays a central role in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling processes that are fundamental to immune cell trafficking and hematopoietic stem cell homing. As a component of the VLA-4 heterodimer, this integrin subunit mediates interactions with vascular cell adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix proteins, making it a critical target for researchers investigating inflammatory responses, leukocyte extravasation, and cardiovascular biology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 1H4, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly in rabbit host cells, you can expect reliable performance across experiments and between lots—eliminating the variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations.
The antibody has been validated for Western blot and ELISA applications, providing flexibility across common detection platforms. In Western blot analysis of Jurkat whole cell lysate at 1:1500 dilution, the antibody detects a band at approximately 140 kDa. While the predicted molecular weight based on sequence is 115 kDa, the observed higher molecular weight is consistent with the extensive glycosylation characteristic of integrin alpha-4, a post-translational modification essential for its adhesion functions.
Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer optimized for long-term storage stability, this antibody is well-suited for immunology, cardiovascular research, signal transduction studies, and stem cell biology applications where reliable detection of human integrin alpha-4 is essential for advancing your research objectives.
