Function

ITGAV encodes integrin alpha chain V. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Alpha V undergoes post-translational cleavage to yield disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, that combine with multiple integrin beta chains to form different integrins. Among the known associating beta chains (beta chains 1,3,5,6, and 8; ITGB1, ITGB3, ITGB5, ITGB6, and ITGB8), each can interact with extracellular matrix ligands; the alpha V beta 3 integrin, perhaps the most studied of these, is referred to as the Vitronectin receptor (VNR). In addition to adhesion, many integrins are known to facilitate signal transduction.^[6]

Alpha V class integrins

In mammals the integrins that include alpha-V are :

Name	Synonyms	Distribution	Ligands
αVβ1		neurological tumors	vitronectin; fibrinogen
αVβ3	vitronectin receptor[7]	activated endothelial cells, melanoma, glioblastoma	vitronectin,[7] fibronectin, fibrinogen, osteopontin, Cyr61, thyroxine[8][9]
αVβ5		widespread, esp. fibroblasts, epithelial cells	vitronectin and adenovirus
αVβ6		proliferating epithelia, esp. lung and mammary gland	fibronectin; TGFβ1+3
αVβ8		neural tissue; peripheral nerve	fibronectin; TGFβ1+3

Clinical significance

Overexpression of the ITGAV gene is associated with progression and spread of colorectal cancer,^[10] and prostate cancer.^[11]

As a drug target

The mAbs intetumumab, and abituzumab target this protein which is found on some tumour cells.^[12]
