Background: Integrin alpha 8

Integrin alpha 8 is a 170‑200 kDa member of the Integrin family of adhesion molecules. It forms an exclusive noncovalent heterodimer with Integrin beta1. alpha8 beta1 promotes both cell adhesion and survival and is known to bind to fibronectin, the latency-associated peptide in latent TGF-beta 1 and nephronectin. Mouse Integrin alpha8 is a 1025 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 969 aa extracellular region (aa 38‑1006) and a 29 aa cytoplasmic domain. One isoform may exist that shows a truncation after Ala675 of the precursor. In the ECD, mouse Integrin  alpha8 shares 96% and 90% aa sequence identity with rat and human Integrin  alpha8 protein, respectively.
