Abstract excerpt
The integrin heterodimers composed of the alpha 6 subunit with the beta 1 or beta 4 subunit (alpha 6 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 4) are receptors for laminin and basement membrane components, respectively. The alpha 3 beta 1 integrin recognizes laminin, collagen, fibronectin, or epiligrin. We report the identification of structural variants (A and B) of the alpha 6 and alpha 3 subunits, containing distinct...
