Human Integrin Beta-8, ITGB8 ELI

Integrin alpha-V:beta-8 (ITGAV:ITGB8) is a receptor for fibronectin (PubMed: 1918072).

It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands (PubMed: 1918072).

Integrin alpha-V:beta-6 (ITGAV:ITGB6) mediates R-G-D-dependent release of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta-1) from regulatory Latency-associated Peptide (LAP), thereby playing a key role in TGF-beta-1 activation on the surface of activated regulatory T-cells (Tregs) (Probable).

Required during vasculogenesis (By similarity).
