Used in research and development for studying cell adhesion, migration, and signaling processes. Plays a key role in understanding interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Applied in immunology and cancer research to investigate tumor progression, metastasis, and immune cell activation. Employed in protein-protein interaction studies and binding assays due to its functional domain structure. Commonly used in ELISA, flow cytometry, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to evaluate ligand binding and antibody responses. Supports the development of therapeutic antibodies and biologics targeting integrin-mediated pathways.
