Integrin alpha V Antibody (YA338),MedChemexpress,HY-P80417

The Integrin alpha V beta 5 protein, specifically the alpha-V (ITGAV) integrin subunit, serves as a versatile receptor for a range of ligands, including vitronectin, cytotactin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin, and vWF. Recognizing the sequence R-G-D in various ligands, ITGAV:ITGB3 binds to fractalkine, acting as a coreceptor in CX3CR1-dependent fractalkine signaling. Additionally, it forms essential binding interactions with NRG1, FGF1, FGF2, IGF1, IGF2, IL1B, PLA2G2A, fibrillin-1 (FBN1), and CD40LG, contributing to diverse signaling pathways. Notably, the ITGAV:ITGB3 or ITGAV:ITGB6 complex acts as a receptor for transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta-1), mediating its release from regulatory Latency-associated peptide (LAP) and playing a crucial role in TGF-beta-1 activation. Furthermore, ITGAV:ITGB5 functions as a receptor for Adenovirus type C during microbial infection. The integrative and multifunctional nature of Integrin alpha V beta 5 underscores its pivotal role in mediating diverse cellular responses and signaling cascades.
