Abstract excerpt
Integrin α(4)β(7) is a lymphocyte homing receptor that mediates both rolling and firm adhesion of lymphocytes on vascular endothelium, two of the critical steps in lymphocyte migration and tissue-specific homing. The rolling and firm adhesions of lymphocytes rely on the dynamic shift between the inactive and active states of integrin α(4)β(7), which is associated with the conformational rearrangement of integrin...
