Anti-itga8

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Anti-ITGA8 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in tissue labeling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Integrin a-8 (ITGA8) plays an important role in organogenesis and is also expressed highly during kidney and lung development. It may be associated with schizophrenia. Mutation in this gene causes bilateral renal agenesis.

Integrin α-8 (ITGA8) plays a role in cell adhesion and cell signaling.
