PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a N terminal large extracellular domain consisting of a sevenfold repeated structure with putative cation-binding motifs in the three of four C terminal repeats
  • proteolytically processed into disulfide linked heavy and light chains
  • the extracellular domain is connected by a single transmembrane segment (1TM) to a short conserved cytoplasmic domain
  • mono polymer heteromer , dimer

    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
  • collectively, ITGA2B /ITGB3 in mast cells plays an important part in fibrinogen (FB)-associated, chronic inflammation and innate immune responses
  • contributes to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and megakaryocyte/platelet functions
  • fibrinogen binding to the integrin ITGA2B, ITGB3 mediates platelet aggregation and spreading on fibrinogen-coated surfaces
  • platelets clearly support early steps in pulmonary metastasis via ITGA2B-dependent formation of platelet-tumor-aggregates, but at a later stage its absence is associated with an accelerated development of melanoma metastases
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell communication
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • dimerizing with ITGB3 in fibrinogen, fibronectin, von Willebrand factor, vitronectin, thrombospondin receptors
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • target gene for FLI1
  • COL17A1
  • interaction between Trp110 of ITGA2B and Arg261 of ITGB3 is critical for ITGA2B/ITGB3 integrity and outside-in signaling-related functions
  • following commitment to megakaryocyte differentiation, the H3K27 demethylase KDM6B up-regulation influences both ITGA2B and MPL expression
  • PTK2B was rapidly phosphorylated and activated in platelets adherent to fibrinogen through integrin ITGA2B/ITGB3
  • deoxyribose-1-phosphate (dRP) is a novel autocrine amplifier of platelet activity, which acts on platelet redox levels and modulates ITGA2B/ITGB3
  • serine/threonine phosphatases regulate platelet ITGA2B/ITGB3 integrin receptor outside-in signaling mechanisms and clot retraction
  • FYB promotes integrin ITGA2B/ITGB3 activation in platelets, which lack SKAP1, suggesting an FYB integrin-regulatory pathway different from those in lymphocytes
  • WDR1 is essential for TLN1-induced activation of ITGA2B during platelet activation
