Anti-Mouse CD51 (Integrin alpha V) Functional Grade Purified

Description: The RMV-7 monoclonal antibody reacts with the mouse CD51 molecule, the integrin alpha v chain. This approximately 120 kDa surface molecule non-covalently associates with the β subunits of the integrin family including β₃ (CD61), β₁ (CD29), β₅ and β₆ to form receptors for extracellular matrix components. Heterodimers of CD51/CD61 are expressed by platelets, T cells and granulocytes and mediate adhesion to fibrinogen, fibronectin, vitronectin and thrombospondin.
