Product Data
Clone Name PS/2
Applications FC
Recommended Dilution Flow Cytometry: Use 10µl of Neat-1/1 diluted antibody to label 10e6 cells in 100 µl. The Fc region of monoclonal antibodies may bind non-specifically to cells expressing low affinity fc receptors.
Reactivities Human, Mouse
Host Rat
Isotype IgG2b
Clonality Monoclonal
Specificity This antibody recognises alpha 4 integrin (CD49d).
Clone PS/2 has also been reported to block the binding of CD49d to its ligands. We recommend the use of SM037LE for this purpose.

Background Integrin α4 (also called CD49d) is a ~150 kDa protein that possesses a large extracellular domain involved in ligand binding, a single transmembrane domain, and an intracellular regulatory domain possessing multiple sites for phosphorylation. Integrin α4 forms heterodimers with integrins β1 and β7. Integrin α4 is expressed on leukocytes and leukocyte precursors, neural crest cells, and developing skeletal muscles and is essential for embryogenesis, hematopoiesis, and immune responses. The presence of integrin α4 promotes cell migration and inhibits cell spreading and contractility. Integrin α4 function has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis C, and multiple sclerosis, and therefore, modulation of integrin α4 function has become an important target for drug discovery. Phosphorylation of the serine 988 residue on the integrin α4 cytoplasmic tail inhibits its interaction with the focal adhesion complex-associated protein paxillin, and modulates its effects on cell motility and spreading.
Synonyms Integrin alpha-4, Integrin alpha-IV, VLA-4, VLA4
