Integrin beta-1 (ITGB1, CD29, VLA-beta) is the beta subunit found in the integrin families, forming a heterodimer integrin receptor through non-covalent bonding with various integrin alpha subunits. Integrin heterodimer containing Integrin beta-1 binds to various cell surface and extracellular proteins (CD49a-f, CD51) to mediate cell to cell and cell to matrix adhesion (1). Integrin beta-1 plays a critical role in the cell adhesion and recognition in embryogenesis, hemostasis, immune response, tissue repair, metastatic diffusion of tumor cells and development (2, 3, 4). Observations argue that tyrosines 783 and 795 within the cytoplasmic tail of integrin subunit beta1A are critical mediators of FAK activation and cell spreading in GD25 cells (5).
