Preparation and Storage

Background: CD11b/Integrin alpha M

The Integrin family proteins are heterodimeric transmembrane receptors composed of an alpha  and a beta  subunit. The Integrin  alpha M subunit, also known as MAC-1 alpha subunit or CD11b, combines with the Integrin  beta 2 subunit (CD18) to form the non-covalent heterodimer Integrin  alpha M/ beta 2, also known as MAC-1 and Complement Receptor type 3 (CR3). Integrin  alpha M/ beta 2 is expressed on granulocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and natural killer cells. Upon activation, alpha M/ beta 2 can bind several ligands (including ICAM-1, fibrinogen, and the C3 complement fragment, C3bi) to mediate phagocyte adhesion, migration and ingestion of complement-opsonized particles. The mouse extracellular domain (ECD) shares 87% and 74% amino acid sequence identity with rat and human ECD, respectively (3,4).
