Mouse Anti-CD49f (Laminin Receptor, Integrin alpha6, VLA alpha6, Platelet gpIc)

CD49f is the 125 kDa integrin α6 chain which associates noncovalently with the integrin β1 subunit (CD29) and with the integrin β4 (CD104) chain to form, respectively, the very late antigen-6 (VLA-6) and α6β4 integrin heterodimers. VLA-6 is expressed on thymocytes, T lymphocytes, monocytes, and platelets. CD49f/CD29 expression is upregulated on activated T lymphocytes and memory T cells. VLA-6 serves as the laminin receptor on platelets, monocytes, and T cells. VLA-6-mediated binding to laminin provides a costimulatory signal to T cells for activation and proliferation.
