Gene information for ITGA1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3672
Official gene symbolITGA1
Full nameintegrin, alpha 1
Aliases,CD49a,VLA1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the alpha 1 subunit of integrin receptors. This protein heterodimerizes with the beta 1 subunit to form a cell-surface receptor for collagen and laminin. The heterodimeric receptor is involved in cell-cell adhesion and may play a role in inflammation and fibrosis. The alpha 1 subunit contains an inserted (I) von Willebrand factor type I domain which is thought to be involved in collagen binding. [provided by RefSeq]
