Biochem/physiol Actions
Integrin α-3 is a protein encoded by the ITGA3 gene in humans and is a member of the integrin family of cell adhesion receptors. It is a transmembrane integrin receptor subunit for various laminin isoforms that mediates signals between the cells and their microenvironment. ITGA3 plays an important role in the maintenance of tissue integrity. It may function as a receptor for fibronectin, laminin, and collagen. ITGA3 plays a central role in the interplay of cells, morphogens and ECM and is required for proper nephrogenesis. It acts as a potential marker protein for cells undergoing enhanced Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and for cancer cells with aggressive phenotypes.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial event in wound healing, tissue repair, and cancer progression in adult tissues. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β induces EMT in mouse epithelial cells. During prolonged treatment, TGF-β successively induces myofibroblastic differentiation with increased expression of
The development of the mammalian kidney is a highly complex process dependent upon the interplay of various cell types, secreted morphogens, and the extra-cellular matrix (ECM). Although integrins are the most important receptors for ECM proteins and are ubiquitously expressed

Integrin α(3) is a transmembrane integrin receptor subunit that mediates signals between the cells and their microenvironment. We identified three patients with homozygous mutations in the integrin α(3) gene that were associated with disrupted basement-membrane structures and compromised barrier functions
