ITGb2 (Integrin Beta 2, CD18, ITG-B2, LAD, LFA1, MAC1, LCAMB, MF17, LFAb, Complement Component 3 Receptor 3 And 4 Subunit, Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen 1, Macrophage Antigen 1)

The ITGB2 is a protein belongs to the integrin beta chain family of proteins. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This gene encodes the integrin beta chain beta 2. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. For example, beta 2 combines with the alpha L chain to form the integrin LFA-1, and combines with the alpha M chain to form the integrin Mac-1. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. Defects in this gene are the cause of leukocyte adhesion deficiency...
