Integrin beta 5 explained

Integrin beta-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGB5 gene.[1] [2]

Interactions

Integrin, beta 5 has been shown to interact with PTK2,[3] Annexin A5[4] and PAK4.[5]

Functions

ITGB5 encodes a subunit of integrin that can interact with several alpha chains to form a variety of integrin heterodimers. It also plays a potential role in intercellular communication during tumor progression and metastasis.[6]

Clinical significance

Research

Elevated levels of ITGB5 have been found in patients with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II, a rare disease of bones.[7]
