Abstract excerpt
The interplay between the collagen-binding integrin, alpha2beta1, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors in the context of functional interactions with collagen was studied. We expressed either wild-type alpha2beta1 (alpha2beta1A) or alpha2beta1 with a Y783/795F mutation in the cytoplasmic tail of the beta1 subunit (alpha2beta1Amut) in the beta1-null fibroblastic cell line, GD25. GD25 cells lack...
