General annotation (Comments)

Function

Integrin alpha-6/beta-1 is a receptor for laminin on platelets. Integrin alpha-6/beta-4 is a receptor for laminin in epithelial cells and it plays a critical structural role in the hemidesmosome. Mice expressing a null mutation of the alpha-6 subunit gene die soon after birth and develop severe blistering. The blisters are due to separation of the basal epithelial cells from a normally formed basement membrane.

Subunit structure

Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. The alpha subunit is composed of a heavy and a light chain linked by a disulfide bond. Alpha-6 associates with either beta-1 or beta-4. Interacts with RAB21 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Post-translational modification

Isoforms containing segment A, but not segment B, are the major targets for PMA-induced phosphorylation. Phosphorylation occurs on 'Ser-1064' of isoform alpha-6X1A. Phosphorylation is not required for the induction of integrin alpha-6A/beta-1 high affinity but may reduce the affinity for ligand By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family.

Contains 7 FG-GAP repeats.
