Integrin alpha-1

Mammalian protein found in Homo sapiens


Integrin alpha-1 also CD49a is an integrin alpha subunit encoded in humans by the gene ITGA1. It makes up half of the α1β1 integrin duplex. Though CD49a can bind a number of ligands including collagen IV, collagen I, and others.[5]

Quick Facts ITGA1, Available structures ...

CD49a has been implicated as a marker of tissue resident memory T cells, where it may be coexpressed with other markers CD103 and CD69.[6] It has been shown to affect the motility of T cells.[7]
