| Function | Integrin alpha-V:beta-8 (ITGAV:ITGB8) is a receptor for fibronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. Integrin alpha-V:beta-6 (ITGAV:ITGB6) mediates R-G-D-dependent release of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta-1) from regulatory Latency-associated peptide (LAP), thereby playing a key role in TGF-beta-1 activation on the surface of activated regulatory T-cells (Tregs) (Probable). Required during vasculogenesis. |
