Description: ITGB2 (Integrin beta 2), also known as CD18, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB2 gene. ITGB2/CD18 is an integrin protein that belongs to the class of cell membrane glycoproteins. The beta-2 integrin chain gene is designated ITGB2 and the leukocyte antigen has been designated CD18. The ITGB2 gene is mapped to 21q22.3. The expression of CD18 is increased in lymphoblastoid cells from persons with Down syndrome, consistent with the location of the gene on chromosome 21. In humans, lack of ITGB2 causes Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency, a disease defined by a lack of leukocyte extravasation from blood into tissues. Although ITGB2 is expressed on the cell surface at normal levels and is capable of function following extracellular stimulation, it could not be activated via the inside-out signaling pathways.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human CD18 (LREYRRFEKEKLKSQWN) was used as the immunogen for this CD18 antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the CD18 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
