MeSH definition : An alpha integrin with a molecular weight of 160-kDa that is found in a variety of
cell types. It undergoes posttranslational cleavage into a heavy and a light chain
that are connected by disulfide bonds. Integrin alphaV can combine with several different
beta subunits to form heterodimers that generally bind to RGD sequence-containing
extracellular matrix proteins.;
