Mouse Anti-CD49b (ITGA2, Integrin alpha-2, CD49 Antigen-like Family Member B, Collagen Receptor, Platelet Membrane Glycoprotein Ia, GPIa, VLA-2 Subunit alpha, CD49B) (Biotin)
CD49b (cluster of differentiation 49b) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CD49b gene. The CD49b protein is an integrin alpha subunit. It makes up half of the alpha2Beta1 integrin duplex. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane glycoproteins composed of a distinct alpha chain and a common beta chain.
