α2β1 Integrin

2014
The α2β1 integrin, also known as VLA-2, GPIa-IIa, CD49b, was first identified as an extracellular matrix receptor for collagens and/or laminins [55, 56]. It is now recognized that the α2β1 integrin serves as a receptor for many matrix and nonmatrix molecules [35, 79, 128].

Integrin Signaling

Science, 1999
Cells reside in a protein network, the extracellular matrix (ECM), which they secrete and mold into the intercellular space. The ECM exerts profound control over cells. The effects of the matrix are primarily mediated by integrins, a family of cell surface receptors that attach cells to the matrix and mediate mechanical and chemical signals from it ...

Integrin Structure

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2000
The integrins are a family of α,β heterodimeric receptors that mediate dynamic linkages between extracellular adhesion molecules and the intracellular actin cytoskeleton. Integrins are expressed by all multicellular animals, but their diversity varies widely among species; for example, in mammals, 19 α and 8β subunit genes encode polypeptides that ...

Integrin signaling

Seminars in Cancer Biology, 1996
Integrins are a family of adhesion receptors used by cells to interact with their extracellular matrix. Integrins also function as signaling receptors, integrating information from the extracellular matrix and other environmental cues including growth factors and hormones.

Integrin antagonists

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 1999
Integrins are a family of cell surface glycoproteins that mediate numerous cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and are involved in biological processes such as tissue morphogenesis, leukocyte recirculation and migration, wound healing, blood clotting and immune response.

Epithelial integrins

Cell Differentiation and Development, 1990
We have undertaken the study of integrins specifically or predominantly expressed in epithelial cells, as they may be involved in establishing and maintaining properties peculiar to epithelia, such as polarization and morphogenetic movements. We describe here recent results regarding two such integrins.

Integrin signaling

Matrix Biology, 1997
Integrins provide dynamic links between cells and extracellular matrix molecules. Although integrins were originally viewed as relatively simple adhesion molecules, it soon became clear that intracellular signal transduction initiated by integrins is centrally involved in many cellular processes.

Epithelial integrins

BioEssays, 1996
AbstractThe integrin family was originally described as a family of adhesion receptors, utilized by cells for attachment to and migration across components of the extracellular matrix. Epithelial cells in adult tissues are generally stationary cells, but these cells nevertheless express several different integrins. This review will discuss the evidence

Integrin-linked kinase associated with integrin activation

Blood, 2009
AbstractPlatelet integrin αIIbβ3 activation is tightly controlled by intracellular signaling pathways, and several molecules, including talin, have been identified as critical for αIIbβ3 activation. However, the whole pathway associated with αIIbβ3 activation remains to be determined.

Integrins and reproduction

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1995
Integrins are a large family of cell surface proteins that serve as receptors, involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. These receptors are of fundamental importance in the organization of tissues and organs. Integrins participate in a complex apparatus anchoring cells to their surrounding and transducing signals into the cells.
