Background Information

The integrins are a superfamily of cell adhesion receptors that bind to extracellular matrix ligands, cell-surface ligands, and soluble ligands (PMID: 17543136). They are transmembrane αβ heterodimers and at least 24 distinct integrin heterodimers are formed by the combination of 18 α and eight β known subunits (PMID: 17543136; 20029421). In addition to mediating cell adhesion, integrins also play important roles in modulating signal transduction pathways that control cellular responses including migration, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (PMID:19118207). Integrin alpha-2 (ITGA2, CD49b) combines with the beta 1 subunit (ITGB1, CD29) to form a cell-surface receptor (VLA-2) for laminin, collagen, collagen C-propeptides, fibronectin and E-cadherin.
