Integrin Subunit Alpha 1 (ITGA1)

Target
ITGA1
Molecular classification
Integrin, Receptor, Cell adhesion molecule
01

Overview

Integrin subunit alpha 1, also known as CD49a, forms part of the integrin family of cell surface receptors that mediate cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell-cell interactions. Specifically, integrin alpha-1 pairs with the beta-1 subunit to form the α1β1 integrin heterodimeric receptor. It acts as a receptor for collagens and laminins, playing a role in cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and signal transduction. Dysregulation is linked to cancer and inflammatory conditions.
