The CD49b protein is an integrin alpha subunit. It makes up half of the α2β1 integrin duplex. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane glycoproteins composed of a distinct alpha chain and a common beta chain. They are found on a wide variety of cell types including T cells (the NKT cells), NK cells, fibroblasts and platelets. Integrins are involved in cell adhesion and also participate in cell-surface-mediated signalling.[5]

Expression of CD49b in conjunction with LAG-3 has been used to identify type 1 regulatory (Tr1) cells.[6]

The DX5 monoclonal antibody recognizes mouse CD49b.[7]

Interactions

CD49b has been shown to interact with MMP1.[8][9]
