Official Name
ITGA9
Full Name
integrin, alpha 9
Background
This gene encodes an alpha integrin. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane glycoproteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain that mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. The protein encoded by this gene, when bound to the beta 1 chain, forms an integrin that is a receptor for VCAM1, cytotactin and osteopontin. Expression of this gene has been found to be upregulated in small cell lung cancers.
Alternative Names
ITGA9; integrin, alpha 9; RLC; ITGA4L; ALPHA-RLC; integrin alpha-9; integrin alpha-RLC
