Integrins are heterodimeric cell surface receptors composed of a variable alpha subunit and a conserved beta subunit. The exact combination of various alpha and beta subunits dictates the binding specificity of integrins to different ECM components. Integrins are not constitutively active. Activation of an integrin from low ligand-binding affinity state to high ligand-binding affinity state requires conformational change that can originate from either from their cytoplasmic or extracellular interactions. Integrin alpha-V, a single-pass membrane protein, heterodimerizes with a beta subunit. The exact combination of various alpha and beta subunits dictates the binding specificity of integrins to different ECM components. Although both subunits are required for adhesion, the binding specificity primarily depends on the extracellular region of the alpha subunit. Alpha-V associates with various beta subunits in a non-covalent manner. The structural and functional diversity of the integrin family are based upon the pairing abilities of the individual alpha and beta subunits. The alpha-V is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-30), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form. The mature form contains an extracellular domain (aa 31-992), a transmembrane domain (aa 993-1016), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1017-1048). Integrin beta-5 is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-23), which is cleaved off to produce the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 24-719), a short transmembrane domain (aa 720-742), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 743-799). Integrin alpha-V beta-5 (ITGAV:ITGB5) serves as a receptor for fibronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligand. Clone EM09902 is shown to bind to alpha-V beta-5 with high affinity (EC50 = 5 ng/mL) and it displays low binding to alpha-V beta 3 (EC50 = 7 ug/mL). It is shown to stain all adherent tumor cells that express alphaV beta5. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
