| Background Information | Integrin alpha-6 (UniProt P23229; also known as CD49 antigen-like family member F, CD49f, Integrin alpha6B, VLA-6) is encoded by the ITGA6 (also known as ITGA6B) gene (Gene ID 3655) in human. The biological functions attributed to cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are mediated primarily by integrin family transmembrane receptors. A total of 18 alpha and 8 beta integrins have been identified in human. Each alpha integrin pairs up with one beta integrin non-covalently to form a functional heterodimeric dimer. At least 24 distinct integrin heterodimers are known with varying ligand specificities. For example, the alpha6-beta1 integrin is reported to mediate the spreading and laminin-binding of Schwann cells, while the alpha6-beta4 integrin is shown to play a role in the suppression of anoikis in human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Signal (1-23), Integrin alpha-6 (24-1130). Processed into Integrin alpha-6 heavy chain (24 – 938), Integrin alpha-6 light chain (942-1130), Processed integrin alpha-6 (Alpha6p; 636 – 1130) |
