Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes integrin alpha-5 (gene ITGA5) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 114.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 130 kDa.
Integrin alpha-5 (ITGA5, CD49e) pairs with integrin beta-1 to form the main fibronectin receptor, which recognizes the RGD motif. It drives cell attachment and fibronectin matrix assembly and is important in vascular development, cell migration and tumor cell invasion.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, rat liver tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 8% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human Integrin alpha 5 fragment (Glu787–Glu992), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 86%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places integrin alpha-5 in the cell membrane and cell junction. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in placenta (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
