Interactions

Integrin, beta 5 has been shown to interact with PTK2,[7] Annexin A5[8] and PAK4.[9]

Functions

ITGB5 encodes a subunit of integrin that can interact with several alpha chains to form a variety of integrin heterodimers. It also plays a potential role in intercellular communication during tumor progression and metastasis.[10]

Clinical significance

Research

Elevated levels of ITGB5 have been found in patients with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II, a rare disease of bones.[11]
