anti-CD104 Purified (with Antibiotics)
Human CD104 (beta 4 integrin) associates with the alpha 6 integrin chain and binds to laminin and epiligrin and likely has cell-cell adhesion functions. CD104 is involved in signal transduction (4).
Isotype: Murine IgG2a
Immunogen: UM-SCC-1, human squamous cell carcinoma
Specificity: Antibody UMA9 recognizes an extracellular epitope of the CD104 molecule of about 205 kd (1, 3).
Functional Application: Partially blocks laminin binding.
