Integrin beta-1 (UniProt P05556; also known as CD29, Glycoprotein Iia, GPIIA, Integrin VLA-4 subunit beta, Very late activation protein, beta polypeptide) is encoded by the ITGB1 (also known as FNRB, MDF2, MSK12, VLA-BETA, VLAB) gene (Gene ID 3688) in human. Integrin beta-1 is a 130 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that interacts with various integrin alpha subunits (including alpha 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) to form the functional receptor complexes that bind to specific extracellular matrix proteins. Integrin receptors regulate a variety of important biological functions, including embryonic development, wound repair, hemostasis, and prevention of programmed cell death. They are also implicated in abnormal pathological states such as tumor directed angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis. These heterodimeric receptors bridge the cytoplasmic actin cytoskeleton with proteins present in the extracellular matrix and/or on adjacent cells. Interactions between integrins and the extracellular matrix lead to the activation of signal transduction pathways and regulation of gene expression.
