Background
integrin subunit alpha 2(ITGA2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes the alpha subunit of a transmembrane receptor for collagens and related proteins. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with a beta subunit and mediates the adhesion of platelets and other cell types to the extracellular matrix. Loss of the encoded protein is associated with bleeding disorder platelet-type 9. Antibodies against this protein are found in several immune disorders, including neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. This gene is located adjacent to a related alpha subunit gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012],
Function
domain:The integrin I-domain (insert) is a VWFA domain. Integrins with I-domains do not undergo protease cleavage.,function:Integrin alpha-2/beta-1 is a receptor for laminin, collagen, collagen C-propeptides, fibronectin and E-cadherin. It recognizes the proline-hydroxylated sequence G-F-P-G-E-R in collagen. It is responsible for adhesion of platelets and other cells to collagens, modulation of collagen and collagenase gene expression, force generation and organization of newly synthesized extracellular matrix.,polymorphism:Position 534 is associated with platelet-specific alloantigen HPA-5 (Br). HPA-5A/Br(a) has Lys-534 and HPA-5B/Br(b) has Glu-534. HPA-5B is involved in neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT or NATP). The Lys-534-Glu polymorphism may play a role in coronary artery disease (CAD).,similarity:Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family.,similarity:Contains 1 VWFA domai
