PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a 27 AAs signal peptide (2.7 kDa)
	a globular domain
	a stalk region with four EGF-like repeat domains each with eight cysteine residues
	a single transmembrane (1TM) segment
	a cytoplasmic tail, highly homolog to the EGF-calcium binding motif
	a very large cytoplasmic domain, with three serine residues that play a critical role in the regulation of hemidesmosomes disassembly

CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

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
	promotes epidermal growth and wound healing through a previously unrecognized effect on nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases
	important role of ITGB4 phosphorylation on residues Ser-1356 and Ser-1364 in the formation and/or stability of hemidesmosomes
	promotes carcinoma invasion through its ability to promote directed migration and polarization of carcinoma cells
	receptor for laminins that promotes carcinoma invasion through its ability to regulate key signaling pathways and cytoskeletal dynamics
	play an important role in matrix remodeling and invasion
	is a master regulator of transcription and translation of other integrin subunits and underscore its pivotal role in wound healing and cancer
	hemidesmosome component, that attach epithelia to basal lamina and disassemble during migration and carcinoma invasion
	endothelial ITGB4 is predominantly expressed in arterioles, where it promotes vascular remodeling in the hypoxic brain

CELLULAR PROCESS

cell communication

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

dimerizing with ITGA6, laminin receptor, also constituent of hemi-desmosomes, beta 4 receptor of laminins

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	ITGA6, laminin receptor
	interacting with ARRDC3 (binds ITGB4 after ubiquitination, and seems likely to have a role in targeting ITGB4 for degradation)
	ITGB4 associates with MMP9 and its ectodomain is a target for cleavage by MMP9
	SPARC is an effector of ITGB4-mediated invasion
	ITGB4 has the ability to regulate the expression of specific miRNAs and that such miRNAs can influence ITGB4-mediated migration and invasion
	calcium/calcineurin pathway promotes hemidesmosome stability through inhibition of ITGB4 phosphorylation
	ITGB4 and SRC activation is important early signaling events to lead MTOR activation and cap-dependent translation of VEGFA
	important role for S1PR2 and S1PR3 in S1P/HGF-mediated EC barrier responses that are associated with their complex formation with ITGB4
