The Integrin α9β1 Mediates Adhesion to Activated Endothelial Cells and Transendothelial Neutrophil Migration through Interaction with Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1
The integrin α9β1 has been shown to be widely expressed on smooth muscle and epithelial cells, and to mediate adhesion to the extracellular matrix proteins osteopontin and tenascin-C. We have found that the peptide sequence this integrin recognizes in tenascin-C is highly homologous to the sequence...
