General description
115 kDa calculated
Integrin alpha-5 (UniProt P11688; CD49 antigen-like family member E, CD49e, Fibronectin receptor subunit alpha, Integrin alpha-F, VLA-5) and Integrin beta-1 (UniProt P09055; CD29, Fibronectin receptor subunit beta, GpIIa, VLA-4 subunit beta) are encoded by the Itga5 (VLA5, Fnra; Gene ID 16402) and the Itgb1 (Fnrb; Gene ID 16412) gene, respectively, in murine species. The integrin family of cell adhesion receptors consists of at least 16 membrane-associated heterodimers, composed of an alpha and beta subunit that associate in a non-covalent manner. The structure and functional diversity of the integrin family are based upon the pairing abilities of the individual alpha and beta subunits. Key to these molecular interactions between the integrin receptors and their respective ligands is the recognition of the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence, known to be present in the extracellular matrix components fibronectin, vitronectin, collagen, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor. The involvement of integrins in vascular proliferation, adhesion, and wound repair has been well documented. The adhesion receptor alphaVbeta1 is also known as VLA-5 (very late antigen-5) and the primary receptor for fibronectin. VLA-5 is reported to be involved many important physiological events, including angiogenesis, inflammation, neural crest development and cardiovascular morphogenesis.
