| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene product belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane glycoproteins composed of a distinct alpha chain and a common beta chain. They are found on a wide variety of cell types including, T cells, fibroblasts and platelets. Integrins are involved in cell adhesion and also participate in cell-surface mediated signalling. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P17301 # Integrin alpha-2/beta-1 is a receptor for laminin, collagen, collagen C-propeptides, fibronectin and E-cadherin. It recognizes the proline-hydroxylated sequence G-F-P-G-E-R in collagen. It is responsible for adhesion of platelets and other cells to collagens, modulation of collagen and collagenase gene expression, force generation and organization of newly synthesized extracellular matrix. SIZE: 1181 amino acids; 129295 Da SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Alpha-2 associates with beta-1. Interacts with HPS5. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. DOMAIN: SwissProt: P17301 The integrin I-domain (insert) is a VWFA domain. Integrins with I-domains do not undergo protease cleavage. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. & Contains 7 FG-GAP repeats. & Contains 1 VWFA domain. |
