The alpha-V integrins are receptors for vitronectin, cytotactin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vWF. They recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. Alpha-V integrins may play a role in embryo implantation, angiogenesis and wound healing. Mice expressing a null mutation of the alpha-V subunit gene survive until late in embryonic development and occasionally even to birth. They demonstrate cleft palate, and defective development of CNS and gastrointestinal blood vessels.
Interacts with RAB25 (By similarity). Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The alpha subunit is composed of an heavy and a light chain linked by a disulfide bond. Alpha-V associates with either beta-1, beta-3, beta-5, beta-6 or beta-8.
