Integrin alpha-D (ITGAD or CD11d) Antibody - FFPE Validated

Biological Background

This antibody enables you to investigate Integrin alpha-D with a direct, biology-first readout. Integrin alpha-D is a cell-surface or matrix-associated protein that mediates adhesion and outside-in signaling. Focus on trends across conditions rather than single-point snapshots.

In some datasets and protocols, it is referenced by the gene symbol ITGAD.

Use in the Laboratory

Because adhesion complexes are dynamic, timing and confluence can strongly influence measured signal. Pair measurements with orthogonal readouts when interpretation is sensitive to context.

Many targets show context-dependent localization, so comparisons across matched conditions can reveal meaningful patterns.

To keep datasets interpretable, labs often document:

• focal adhesion versus diffuse membrane distribution
• effects of adhesion inhibitors or matrix composition
• remodeling after changes in substrate or mechanical stress
• co-variation with cytoskeletal and scaffold partners

Version Notes

For paraffin-embedded samples, fixation history and retrieval strategy matter; this option is aligned to those constraints. If your study compares multiple conditions, keep acquisition and processing settings stable to avoid confounding.

If your study spans multiple model systems, it can help to define a shared reference condition for Integrin alpha-D so cross-sample contrasts stay meaningful.
