NCIt definition : Integrin beta-5 (799 aa, 88 kDa) is encoded by the human ITGB5 gene. This type I
membrane protein forms a heterodimer with integrin alpha-V protein. The resulting
complex binds to the tripeptide R-G-D, an amino acid sequence present in a number
of ligands including vitronectin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, and laminin. Ligand binding
regulates cell adhesion, growth and migration.;
