Cell-extracellular matrix interaction

The fibrinogen receptor represents the best characterised member of the in-tegrin family of cell adhesion receptors, which are involved in a wide variety of cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions (reviewed in detail elsewhere) [14,26-29], The integrins consist of non-covalently associated transmembrane a and [i subunits [27], and are commonly grouped into classes defined by shared fi subunits over twenty receptors in eight classes are now known [26], Using the at fi nomenclature, the fibrinogen receptor is now... [Pg.34]

Integrins themselves are found on nearly all cells and mediate several physiological responses, such as cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Three families of integrins, each family with a common beta subunit in combination with distinct alpha subunits, have been recognized. The beta 1 family, also called very late lymphocyte-activation antigen or VLA, has receptors mediating extracellular matrix interactions with molecules such as collagen, laminin, and fibronectin. Naturally, platelets contain many of the receptors of the beta 1 family. [Pg.135]

The integrins comprise a family of cell-surface proteins that are involved in adhesion, a process vital for many processes, such as anchorage, migration, growth and differentiation. Cells may adhere to other cells (cell-cell adhesion) or may interact with soluble molecules that constitute the extracellular matrix (cell-extracellular matrix). The integrins are linked to elements of the cytoskeleton, and so they provide a bridge between the external cellular environment and intracellular activation processes. [Pg.103]
