| Gene Symbol | Itgb2 |
| Gene Full Name | integrin beta 2 |
| Background | CD18, integrin beta2 subunit, forms heterodimers with four types of CD11 molecule to constitute leukocyte (beta2) integrins: alphaLbeta2 (CD11a/CD18, LFA-1), alphaMbeta2 (CD11b/CD18, Mac-1, CR3), alphaXbeta2 (CD11c/CD18) and alphaDbeta2 (CD11d/CD18). In most cases, the response mediated by the integrin is a composite of the functions of its individual subunits. These integrins are essential for proper leukocyte migration, mediating intercellular contacts. |
| Function | Integrin alpha-L/beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM1, ICAM2, ICAM3 and ICAM4. Integrins alpha-M/beta-2 and alpha-X/beta-2 are receptors for the iC3b fragment of the third complement component and for fibrinogen. Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 recognizes the sequence G-P-R in fibrinogen alpha-chain. Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 recognizes P1 and P2 peptides of fibrinogen gamma chain. Integrin alpha-M/beta-2 is also a receptor for factor X. Integrin alpha-D/beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM3 and VCAM1. Triggers neutrophil transmigration during lung injury through PTK2B/PYK2-mediated activation. [UniProt] |
| Research Area | Developmental Biology antibody; Immune System antibody; Signaling Transduction antibody |
| Calculated MW | 85 kDa |
| PTM | Both Ser-745 and Ser-756 become phosphorylated when T-cells are exposed to phorbol esters (PubMed:11700305). Phosphorylation on Thr-758 (but not on Ser-756) allows interaction with 14-3-3 proteins (PubMed:11700305, PubMed:16301335). |
