This product recognizes murine CD51, a 140 kD alpha subunit of the vitronectin receptor, which is otherwise known as the intergrin alpha v chain. CD51 can form heterodimers at the cell surface with a variety of beta integrins including CD29 and CD61.

Heterodimers of CD51/CD61 functions as a receptor for vitronectin, and a wide array of RGD-containing proteins including fibronectin, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, laminin, thrombospondin and osteopontin. CD51/CD61 is primarily expressed on myeloid cells and activated T-cells. Alpha-V integrins may play a role in embryo implantation, angiogenesis and wound healing.
