Abstract excerpt
The integrins are a family of α,β heterodimeric receptors that mediate dynamic linkages between extracellular adhesion molecules and the intracellular actin cytoskeleton. Integrins are expressed by all multicellular animals, but their diversity varies widely among species; for example, in mammals, 19 α and 8β subunit genes encode polypeptides that combine to form 25 different receptors, whereas the Drosophila and...
