Preparation and Storage

Background: Integrin alpha 5/CD49e

Integrin alpha 5, also known as CD49e and vitronectin receptor subunit  alpha, is a 140-150 kDa integrin alpha chain that forms dimers with at least five beta chains including beta 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8. It is a 1018 amino acid (aa) residue type I membrane protein with a large (962 aa) extracellular domain (ECD) and a short (32 aa) cytoplasmic tail. The N-terminal region of Integrin alpha 5, which is important for ligand binding, contains seven FG-GAP (phenylalanyl-glycyl and glycyl-alanyl-prolyl) consensus repeats that fold into a beta -propeller domain. Furin cleavage of the Integrin alpha 5 ECD occurs after Gly 889, generating a disulfide-linked, heteromeric subunit Integrin alpha 5 chain. Integrin alpha 5-containing integrins bind multiple ECM molecules, including Vitronectin, Osteopontin, MMP-2, and TSP. The ECD of human Integrin alpha 5 shares 92% aa sequence identity with mouse Integrin alpha 5 ECD.
