Integrin alpha-V is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGAV gene.[5]

Function

ITGAV encodes integrin alpha chain V. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Alpha V undergoes post-translational cleavage to yield disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, that combine with multiple integrin beta chains to form different integrins. Among the known associating beta chains (beta chains 1,3,5,6, and 8; 'ITGB1', 'ITGB3', 'ITGB5', 'ITGB6', and 'ITGB8'), each can interact with extracellular matrix ligands; the alpha V beta 3 integrin, perhaps the most studied of these, is referred to as the Vitronectin receptor (VNR). In addition to adhesion, many integrins are known to facilitate signal transduction.[6]

Alpha V class integrins

In mammals the integrins that include alpha-V are :

NameSynonymsDistributionLigands
αVβ1neurological tumorsvitronectin; fibrinogen
αVβ3vitronectin receptor[7]activated endothelial cells, melanoma, glioblastomavitronectin,[7] fibronectin, fibrinogen, osteopontin, Cyr61
αVβ5widespread, esp. fibroblasts, epithelial cellsvitronectin and adenovirus
αVβ6proliferating epithelia, esp. lung and mammary glandfibronectin; TGFβ1+3
αVβ8neural tissue; peripheral nervefibronectin; TGFβ1+3

Clinical significance

Overexpression of the ITGAV gene is associated with progression and spread of colorectal cancer,[8] and prostate cancer.[9]

As a drug target

The mAbs intetumumab, and abituzumab target this protein which is found on some tumour cells.[10]
