Anti-VLA5 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the VLA5 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the ITGA5 gene, which encodes integrin subunit alpha 5. This protein is known to function in angiogenesis and cell adhesion, among other biological roles. The human version of VLA5 has a canonical amino acid length of 1049 residues and a protein mass of 114.5 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the membrane of cells and notably expressed in the placenta and smooth muscle. Other names for this target antigen include CD49e, FNRA, and VLA-5. Western Blot is a widely used application for the VLA5 antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
