Entrez gene ID3655
Official gene symbolITGA6
Full nameintegrin, alpha 6
Aliases,CD49f,DKFZp686J01244,FLJ18737,ITGA6B,VLA-6,
Gene summaryThe ITGA6 protein product is the integrin alpha chain alpha 6. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. For example, alpha 6 may combine with beta 4 in the integrin referred to as TSP180, or with beta 1 in the integrin VLA-6. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
