MeSH Heading: Integrin alpha6beta4
Tree Number(s): D12.776.543.750.705.408.460.170; D12.776.543.750.705.876.750
Unique ID: D039161
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D039161
Scope Note: This intrgrin is a key component of HEMIDESMOSOMES and is required for their formation and maintenance in epithelial cells. Integrin alpha6beta4 is also found on thymocytes, fibroblasts, and Schwann cells, where it functions as a laminin receptor (RECEPTORS, LAMININ) and is involved in wound healing, cell migration, and tumor invasiveness.
Entry Term(s): A9 Antigen; Integrin alpha(6),beta(4); Laminin-5 Receptor (alpha6beta4 Integrin); TSP-180; Tumor Specific Protein-180 Complex; alpha(6)beta(4) Epithelial Integrin; alpha(6)beta(4) Integrin; alpha6 beta4 Integrin
