General description

The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors consists of at least 16 membrane-associated heterodimers, composed of an alpha and beta subunit that associate in a non-covalent manner. The involvement of integrins in vascular proliferation, adhesion, and wound repair has been well documented. The adhesion receptor, integrin alphaVbeta3, appears to be selectively expressed on growing blood vessels and has been identified as a marker of angiogenic vascular tissue.
Clone Ab62 is a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes the LIBS2 epitope in the C-terminal region of the extracellular domain of the beta3 subunit (Wiberzbicka-Patynowski, I., et al. (1999). JBC. 274(53):37809-37814).
