Ligand Recognition by β3 Integrins

概要
- 論文の詳細を見る
Integrins are alpha/bets heterodimeric adhesion receptors. αIIbβ3 (GPIIb-IIIa) and αvβ3 (the vitronectin receptor) share the same beta subunit, S3, but have distinct alpha subunits. These sister integrins not only recognize many of the same ligands but also have certain unique ligands. Based upon current information in the literature, we propose that four classes of β3 ligands can be distinguished. Since the β3 integrins have multiple functions in vivo and are targets for therapy, this classification system may be useful in the design and characterization of therapeutic agents.
