Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - HRP Anti-Integrin alpha 2 antibody [EPR17338] - C-terminal (AB209944)

IHC image of Integrin alpha 2 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human colon*, performed on a Leica BOND™. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab209944, 1/50 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Western blot - HRP Anti-Integrin alpha 2 antibody [EPR17338] - C-terminal (AB209944)

This blot was produced using a 3-8% Tris Acetate gel under the TA buffer system. The gel was run at 150V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab209944 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.

Supplementary information

Integrin alpha 2 also known as CD49b ITGA2 and A2 is a protein that functions as part of the integrin family. Integrins are transmembrane receptors that facilitate cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. Integrin alpha 2 has a molecular mass of approximately 130 kDa and is widely expressed in epithelial cells fibroblasts and platelets. This protein is important for mediating adhesion between cells and the extracellular matrix affecting cell signaling and behavior. Through this adhesion cells can communicate with their environment adjusting their functions accordingly.
Biological function summary

Integrin alpha 2 plays a significant role in cellular processes like migration and proliferation. It forms a heterodimer complex by pairing with the beta 1-integrin subunit contributing to its adhesive and signaling functions. This association enables the integrin alpha 2 complex to bind specific extracellular matrix components such as collagen and laminin. Through these interactions it regulates processes like wound healing and tissue remodeling and affects how cells respond to mechanical stress.

Pathways

Integrin alpha 2 is involved in major signaling routes that influence cell fate and movement. Notably it participates in the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways which are important for regulating cell growth and survival. It interacts with signaling proteins like focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src family kinases linking extracellular matrix changes to intracellular responses. These pathways help in transmitting signals that coordinate the cell's structural and functional adjustments in response to its surroundings.

Integrin alpha 2 has connections to cancer and fibrosis. In cancers its altered expression may contribute to tumor progression and metastasis often involving interactions with other integrins and matrix metalloproteinases that degrade extracellular components. In fibrosis excessive integrin alpha 2 activity can lead to abnormal tissue remodeling and scarring implicating its role alongside collagen-producing cells. Understanding these connections is vital for developing therapies targeting integrin-mediated pathways in these diseases.

Target data

Integrin alpha-2/beta-1 is a receptor for laminin, collagen, collagen C-propeptides, fibronectin and E-cadherin. It recognizes the proline-hydroxylated sequence G-F-P-G-E-R in collagen. It is responsible for adhesion of platelets and other cells to collagens, modulation of collagen and collagenase gene expression, force generation and organization of newly synthesized extracellular matrix.. (Microbial infection) Integrin ITGA2 : ITGB1 acts as a receptor for Human rotavirus A.. (Microbial infection) Integrin ITGA2 : ITGB1 acts as a receptor for Human echoviruses 1 and 8.
