Complex of integrin alphaV/beta8 and L-TGF-beta1 at a ratio of 1:2Complex of integrin alphaV/beta8 and L-TGF-beta1 at a ratio of 1:2
Structural highlights
Function[ITAV_HUMAN] The alpha-V integrins are receptors for vitronectin, cytotactin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vWF. They recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. |
