Integrin beta-6 (ITGB6)

Integrin alpha-V:beta-6 (ITGAV:ITGB6) is a receptor for fibronectin and cytotactin (PubMed:17545607, PubMed:17158881). It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands (PubMed:17545607, PubMed:17158881).

Internalisation of integrin alpha-V/beta-6 through clathrin-mediated endocytosis promotes carcinoma cell invasion (PubMed:17545607, PubMed:17158881). ITGAV:ITGB6 functions as a receptor for fibrillin-1 (FBN1) and mediates R-G-D-dependent cell adhesion to FBN1 (PubMed:17158881).
