HGNC name integrin, alpha 5 (fibronectin receptor, alpha polypeptide)
HGNC id 6141
PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a N terminal large extracellular domain
  • a sevenfold repeated structure (7 FG-GAP repeats) 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
    HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY integrin alpha chain family
    CATEGORY adhesion , receptor
    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
  • recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands
  • FN1 and ITGA5 play requisite roles in cardiac morphogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell communication
