Ιntegrins, heterodimeric trans-membrane matrix receptors, are mainly involved in the signal transduction and attachments to extra cellular matrix (ECM).†† In ECM they act as a mediator of cell adhesion.† In human, at least 18 α and eight β subunits have been found.† ITGB5 (integrin subunit β 5) helps in facilitation of cancer cell migration, anchorage-independent growth and tumor angiogenesis. Integrin is activated by G-protein-coupled receptors, resulting in the phosphorylation of cytoplasmic domain of the β subunit. The coupled α and β cytoplasmic tails are responsible for maintaining integrin in inactive state.

Flow cytometry: 1×10^6 Jurkat cells(negative control,left) and A549 cells (right) were surface-stained with ABflo® 647 Rabbit anti-Human Integrin β5/ITGB5 mAb(A24247,5 μl/Test,orange line) or ABflo® 647 Rabbit IgG isotype control (A22070,5 μl/Test,blue line).Non-fluorescently stained were used as blank control (red line).
