It forms heterodimers with the alpha v subunit resulting in the integrin alpha v beta 8 complex. This complex plays a role in cell adhesion and signaling by binding to extracellular matrix proteins like latency-associated peptide TGF-β. Integrin beta 8 is expressed in various tissues notably in the brain lungs and intestinal epithelium. The protein has a mass of approximately 85 kDa.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin beta 8 participates in the regulation of cellular processes such as growth differentiation and migration. The integrin alpha v beta 8 complex serves as a receptor for latent TGF-β activation an important step in modulating TGF-β signaling. This activation influences processes such as extracellular matrix remodeling and immune response regulation. Integrin beta 8 interacts with actin cytoskeleton regulatory proteins to mediate these cellular changes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin beta 8 influences both TGF-β and Wnt signaling pathways. Its role in TGF-β pathway involves activation of latent TGF-β impacting tissue homeostasis and immune regulation. In connection to Wnt signaling integrin beta 8 modulates cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein shares functional relations with other integrins like integrin beta 6 which also interacts with similar ligands and pathways coordinating cellular response during development and repair processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin beta 8 associates with conditions like brain tumors and fibrosis. For example its upregulation in glioblastoma multiforme contributes to the invasive properties of tumor cells by modulating TGF-β signaling similar to the role observed with integrin beta 6 in fibrotic diseases. This connection emphasizes the therapeutic potential of targeting integrin beta 8 to mitigate disease progression and improve treatment efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854474793129,"sku":"ab243023","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab243023","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
