General description
Kindlin-1 is coded by FERMT1 (fermitin family member 1) gene. It is a focal adhesion protein, expressed in the skin and intestine. FERMT1 is located on human chromosome 20p.12.3.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence close to the N-terminus of human Kindlin-1, conjugated to KLH. The isotype is determined by ELISA using Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Isotyping Reagents (Sigma ISO-2).
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Kindlin-1 antibody has been used in immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence staining and western blotting.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Western Blotting (1 paper)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Kindlin-1 protein, coded by FERMT1 gene modulates keratinocyte electrotaxis. It participates in the initiation of the integrin family of extracellular matrix receptors. FERMT1 maintains the lamellipodial protrusions at the time of electrotaxis. Mutations in kindlin-1 results in Kindler syndrome (KS).
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
