Product Overview
Clone AFI-9 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes integrin beta-1 (gene ITGB1) in human samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 88.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 150 kDa.
Integrin beta-1 (ITGB1, CD29) is the most widely shared integrin beta subunit, pairing with many alpha subunits to form receptors for collagens, laminins, fibronectin and VCAM-1. Beta-1 integrins link the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton at focal adhesions and drive signaling for cell adhesion, migration, survival and tissue organization.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 1:500–1:2000 |
|---|---|
| Immunohistochemistry | 1:50–1:200 |
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human bladder carcinoma tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human integrin beta 1.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places integrin beta-1 in the cell membrane, cell projection, recycling endosome and melanosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (at protein level)... The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
