Target
CD49b
Molecular classification
Integrin, Receptor
01

Overview

Integrin alpha 2 (CD49b) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that forms heterodimers exclusively with the beta 1 subunit, resulting in the α2β1 integrin receptor. This receptor plays a crucial role in cell adhesion, particularly to collagens, and participates in cell-surface-mediated signaling. It is implicated in various disease contexts including cancer, infection and fibrosis.
