DESCRIPTION

Also known as ITB4_HUMAN, ITGB4. Integrin alpha-6/beta-4 is a receptor for laminin. Plays a critical structural role in the hemidesmosome of epithelial cells. Is required for the regulation of keratinocyte polarity and motility. ITGA6:ITGB4 binds to NRG1 (via EGF domain) and this binding is essential for NRG1-ERBB signaling (PubMed:20682778). ITGA6:ITGB4 binds to IGF1 and this binding is essential for IGF1 signaling (PubMed:22351760). ITGA6:ITGB4 binds to IGF2 and this binding is essential for IGF2 signaling (PubMed:28873464). Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Beta-4 associates with alpha-6. Interacts (via cytoplasmic region) with COL17A1 (via cytoplasmic region). Interacts (via cytoplasmic region) with DST isoform 3 (via N-terminus). Isoform beta-4a interacts (via cytoplasmic domain) with DST (via N-terminus). Interacts with RAC1. ITGA6:ITGB4 is found in a ternary complex with NRG1 and ERBB3 (PubMed:20682778). ITGA6:ITGB4 is found in a ternary complex with IGF1 and IGF1R (PubMed:22351760). ITGA6:ITGB4 interacts with IGF2 (PubMed:28873464).
