This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 205 kDa. Integrin beta 4 primarily expresses in epithelial cells particularly those forming stratified and transitional epithelia. It partners with alpha 6 integrin to form the alpha 6 beta 4 integrin complex which plays a significant role in the formation and maintenance of hemidesmosomes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin beta 4 is important for anchoring epithelial cells to the basement membrane stabilizing cell layers in tissues. It interacts with intermediate filaments through specific cytoplasmic proteins. The integrin beta 4 complex ensures structural integrity essential for maintaining the skin and mucosal barriers. Integrations with proteins like M126 are essential for strengthening these interactions safeguarding cellular stability and promoting wound healing.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin beta 4 is embedded in key signaling pathways that influence cell adhesion and migration. It participates prominently in the PI3K\/AKT and RAS pathway collaborations facilitating signal transduction essential for cell growth and survival. Through these pathways integrin beta 4 interacts with proteins like IS200BPIRG1A linking extracellular cues to internal cellular responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegrin beta 4 has associations with epidermolysis bullosa and various cancers. In epidermolysis bullosa mutations in integrin beta 4 impair hemidesmosomal function leading to skin fragility. In cancer integrin beta 4 overexpression or mislocalization contributes to tumor progression affecting cell invasion and metastasis. Its interactions with IS200BPIAG1A or related pathways highlight the protein’s influence on carcinogenic processes and potential as a therapeutic target.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843635663017,"sku":"ab314597","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab314597","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
