ITGA6
ITGA6 (Integrin alpha-6) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Prostate cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
Integrin alpha-6/beta-1 (ITGA6:ITGB1) is a receptor for laminin on platelets. Integrin alpha-6/beta-1 (ITGA6:ITGB1) is present in oocytes and is involved in sperm-egg fusion. Integrin alpha-6/beta-4 (ITGA6:ITGB4) is a receptor for laminin in epithelial cells and it plays a critical structural role in the hemidesmosome. ITGA6:ITGB4 binds to NRG1 (via EGF domain) and this binding is essential for NRG1-ERBB signalling. ITGA6:ITGB4 binds to IGF1 and this binding is essential for IGF1 signalling. ITGA6:ITGB4 binds to IGF2 and this binding is essential for IGF2 signalling. Location: Cell membrane (UniProt). Locus 2q31.1 (HGNC).
