Integrin alpha-V is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGAV gene.[3]

ITAGV encodes integrin alpha chain V. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Alpha V undergoes post-translational cleavage to yield disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, that combine with multiple integrin beta chains to form different integrins. Among the known associating beta chains (beta chains 1,3,5,6, and 8; 'ITGB1', 'ITGB3', 'ITGB5', 'ITGB6', and 'ITGB8'), each can interact with extracellular matrix ligands; the alpha V beta 3 integrin, perhaps the most studied of these, is referred to as the Vitronectin receptor (VNR). In addition to adhesion, many integrins are known to facilitate signal transduction.[4]

Alpha V class integrins

In mammals the integrins that include alpha-V are :

Name Synonyms Distribution Ligands
αVβ1 ocular melanoma; neurological tumors vitronectin; fibrinogen
αVβ3 vitronectin receptor[5] activated endothelial cells, melanoma, glioblastoma vitronectin,[5] fibronectin, fibrinogen, osteopontin, Cyr61
αVβ5 widespread, esp. fibroblasts, epithelial cells vitronectin and adenovirus
αVβ6 proliferating epithelia, esp. lung and mammary gland fibronectin; TGFβ1+3
αVβ8 neural tissue; peripheral nerve fibronectin; TGFβ1+3

As a drug target

The mAbs intetumumab, and abituzumab target this protein which is found on some tumour cells.[6]
