This antibody recognises the integrin alpha 2 subunit, which is 160 kDa cell surface antigen expressed by NK cells and a small subset of T-cells. This antibody inhibits cell attachment to collagen.

Integrins are heterodimeric cell surface receptors composed of alpha and beta subunits, which mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix attachments. They are responsible for adhesion of platelets and other cells to collagens, modulation of collagen and collagenase gene expression, force generation and organization of newly synthesized extracellular matrix. Aberrant integrin expression has been found in many epithelial tumours. Changes in integrin expression have been shown to be important for the growth and early metastatic capacity of melanoma cells.Synonyms: CD49 antigen-like family member B, Collagen Receptor, GPIa, ITGA-2, Integrin alpha-2, Platelet membrane glycoprotein Ia, VLA-2 alpha, VLA2
