Integrin alpha 11 beta 1: Proteins and Enzymes

Integrin alpha 11 beta 1 is a heterodimeric collagen receptor that contains a 150 kDa alpha 11 subunit and a 130 kDa beta 1/CD29 subunit. a11b1 is the only known alpha 11-containing Integrin. By contrast, at least twelve alpha subunits share the beta 1 subunit. a11b1 is expressed on fibroblasts from cornea, skin, and periodontal ligament. It is also expressed on mesenchymal stem cells and is considered a marker for non‑muscle mesenchymal tissue. Expression of a11b1 is stimulated by ...
