HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

integrin family

CATEGORY

adhesion , receptor membrane

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum
text	sarcolemmal
	type I membrane protein
	colocalized with FHL2 and FHL3 at the periphery of Z-discs

basic FUNCTION	cell surface adhesion receptor mediating cell-adhesion to extra cellular matrix or to other cells, through hetero dimerization and connecting to the cytoskeleton and various signaling molecules within cells
	critical roles of ITGA7 and UTRN in maintaining myotendinous junction structure and enabling force transmission during muscle contraction
	is an epigenetically regulated tumour suppressor gene
	plays a key functional role in growth and invasiveness of glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs)
	playing a role in mechanical stabilization of muscle cells
	promotes cell proliferation, stemness but suppresses cell apoptosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
	role of ITGA7 and extracellular matrix interactions in Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell proliferation and extramedullary disease development

CELLULAR PROCESS

cell communication

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

critical signaling mechanism of ITGA7, through the TIMP3/NFKB1/CCND1 pathway

a component

dimerizing with ITGB1 in laminin receptor

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	specific cellular receptor for the basement membrane protein laminin-1
	ITGA7 increases the protease activity of HTRA2, and deletion of the HTRA2 interaction domain abrogates the cell death activity of ITGA7, whereas down-regulation of HTRA2 dramatically reduced cell death mediated by ITGA7
	ITGA7 binds to tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3) in prostate cancer cells
	S100P interacts with ITGA7 and increases cancer cell migration and invasion in lung cancer
	FOXC1 promotes colorectal cancer metastasis through transactivating ITGA7 and FGFR4 expression
