Preferred Label : integrin alpha6beta4;
MeSH definition : 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.;
