Identification of a Novel Structural Variant of the α6 Integrin

Abstract excerpt

The alpha(6) integrin is a 140-kDa (nonreduced) laminin receptor. We have identified a novel 70-kDa (nonreduced) form of the alpha(6) integrin called alpha(6)p for the latin word parvus, meaning small. The variant was immunoprecipitated from human cells using four different alpha(6)-specific monoclonal antibodies but not with alpha(3) or alpha(5) antibodies. The alpha(6)p integrin contained identical amino acid...
