Source
Human ITGA4&ITGB7 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free (IT7-H52W4) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Tyr 34 - Thr 977 (ITGA4) & Glu 20 - His 723 (ITGB7) (Accession # P13612-1 (ITGA4) & P26010-1 (ITGB7)).
Predicted N-terminus: Tyr 34 (ITGA4) & Glu 20 (ITGB7)
Molecular Characterization
Human ITGA4&ITGB7 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of ITGA4 and ITGB7, has a calculated MW of 111.4 kDa (ITGA4) & 83.7 kDa (ITGB7). Subunit ITGA4 is fused with an acidic tail at the C-terminus and followed by a polyhistidine tag and subunit ITGB7 contains no tag but a basic tail at the C-terminus. The protein migrates as 130-150 kDa (ITGA4) and 65 kDa, 70 kDa, 100-120 kDa (ITGB7) when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 0.01 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH7.5 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
Integrin alpha 4 beta 7 is an integrin family adhesion receptor that shares subunits with alpha 4 beta 1 (VLA4) and the E-Cadherin receptor, alpha E beta 7 . Integrin alpha 4 beta 7, which is critical for homing to intestinal mucosa, is induced during T cell activation in Peyer’s patches or mesenteric lymph nodes.Its expression requires signals from local dendritic and stromal cells, including secreted retinoic acid. The HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 binds to the active form of Integrin alpha 4 beta 7, and this may or may not account for the concentration of HIV-1 virus in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Integrin alpha 4 beta 7 may also be involved in lymphocyte trafficking in acute intestinal graft vs. host disease (GVHD).
