Background Information
Integrins are cell adhesion receptors that are heterodimers composed of non-covalently associated α and β subunits. Integrin alpha-8 is a single-pass type I membrane protein that forms a heterodimer with integrin beta-1 to serve as a receptor for RGD-containing matrix molecules (fibronectin, vitronectin, tenascin C, osteopontin, and nephronectin) (PMID: 33000355). Integrin alpha-8 beta-1 plays a critical role in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and functions in the genesis of kidney and probably of other organs (PMID: 9054500; 19769957). The apparent molecular weight of integrin alpha-8 is larger than the calculated molecular weight of 117 kDa, possibly due to glycosylation (PMID: 7768999).
