Integrin alpha V beta 8 is a receptor for fibronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. ITGAVB8 does not appear to assume different activation states; and the cytoplasmic tail does not connect to the cytoskeleton. It binds ligands containing an RGD motif; including vitronectin; fibrin and the latency associated peptide (LAP) of the latent TGF-beta complex. High affinity binding of alpha V beta 8 to LAP allows proteolytic cleavage by MT1-MMP; which releases active TGF-beta. This mechanism differs from that of alpha V beta 6; the other alpha V integrin which can activate TGF-beta from latency through non-proteolytic mechanisms.

Construction | A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met1-Val992) of human ITGAV (P06756) was fused with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag was expressed., constructed the plasmid 1; A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met1-Arg684) of human ITGB8 (P26012) constructed the plasmid 2. The two plasmids were co-expressed and the human ITGAV&ITGB8 heterodimer was purified. |
