Preparation and Storage

Background: CD11c

CD11c, also known as the Integrin alpha X subunit, is a 150 kDa type I transmembrane protein that noncovalently heterodimerizes with the beta 2 subunit (CD18) to form alpha X/ beta 2, also known as p150/p95 and complement receptor type 4 (CR4). Integrin alpha X beta 2 is expressed on macrophages, dendritic cells, hairy cell leukemias and some other leukocyte subsets. The 1097 aa mouse CD11c extracellular domain shares 71% and 87% amino acid (aa) identity with human and rat CD11c, respectively. One potential alpha X isoform is truncated at aa 828. Some adhesion partners of alpha X beta 2 are shared with alpha M beta 2/CD11b/CD18 (Complement iC3b, ICAMs, vWF and Fibrinogen) while others (Osteopontin, Thy-1, Plasminogen, Heparin) are unique. Unlike alpha M beta 2, it is not constitutively active. alpha X beta 2 adhesion mediates proliferation, degranulation, chemotactic migration, and phagocytosis of complement-opsonized particles.
