Description	Integrin alpha V beta 8 (ITGAV & ITGB8 or ITGAVB8) is expressed in yolk sac, placenta, brain perivascular astrocytes, Schwann cells, renal glomerular mesangial cells and pulmonary epithelial cells. Unlike other alpha V integrins, ITGAVB8 does not appear to assume different activation states, and the cytoplasmic tail does not connect to the cytoskeleton. It binds ligands containing an RGD motif, including vitronectin, fibrin and the latency associated peptide (LAP) of the latent TGF-beta complex. High affinity binding of alpha V beta 8 to LAP allows proteolytic cleavage by MT1-MMP, which releases active TGF-beta. This mechanism differs from that of alpha V beta 6, the other alpha V integrin which can activate TGF-beta from latency through non-proteolytic mechanisms. Downstream effects of TGF-beta activation include control of cell growth and associated vascularization.

Exp Region	Phe 31 - Pro 988 & Gly 22 - Ser 679
Characteristics	Rat ITGAV&ITGB8 Heterodimer Protein, His Tag&Tag Free, produced by co-expression of ITGAV and ITGB8, has a calculated MW of 113 kDa (ITGAV) & 77 kDa (ITGB8). Subunit ITGAV is fused with an acidic tail at the C-terminus and followed by a polyhistidine tag and subunit ITGB8 contains no tag but a basic tail at the C-terminus. The protein migrates as 125-145 kDa (ITGAV) and 75-85 kDa (ITGB8) under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin	1.0 EU per μg
Buffer	50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH7.5
Stability	● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution._x000D_For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
Protectant	trehalose
