ITGAV(integrin subunit alpha V) Homo sapiens The product of this gene belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha subunit and a beta subunit that function in cell surface adhesion and signaling. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate light and heavy chains that comprise the alpha V subunit. This subunit associates with beta 1, beta 3, beta 5, beta 6 and beta 8 subunits. The heterodimer consisting of alpha V and beta 3 subunits is also known as the vitronectin receptor. This integrin may regulate angiogenesis and cancer progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Note that the integrin alpha 5 and integrin alpha V subunits are encoded by distinct genes.
Integrins are heterodimeric proteins made up of alpha and beta subunits. At least 18 alpha and 8 beta subunits have been described in mammals. Integrin family members are membrane receptors involved in cell adhesion and recognition in a variety of processes including embryogenesis, hemostasis, tissue repair, immune response and metastatic diffusion of tumor cells. This gene encodes a beta subunit. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants which encode different protein isoforms have been found for this gene.
ITGB3(integrin subunit beta 3) Homo sapiens The ITGB3 protein product is the integrin beta chain beta 3. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. Integrin beta 3 is found along with the alpha IIb chain in platelets. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling.
Interferon alpha 2, a type 1 interferon, is produced by macrophages. Interferon alpha 2 is secreted by virus-infected cells and inhibits other cells from further infection. Recombinant human interferon alpha 2 has been approved for therapeutic application in a range of human oncological and viral diseases. Three Interferon alpha 2 subvariants (2A, 2B, 2C) differ by only one or two amino acids at positions 23 and/or 34 of the mature protein.
This gene encodes the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1, one of two putative serine/threonine kinases that become associated with the interleukin-1 receptor (IL1R) upon stimulation. This gene is partially responsible for IL1-induced upregulation of the transcription factor NF-kappa B. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
IRAK1 is the first member of the death domain containing protein kinase family that play a key role in initiating innate immune response against foreign pathogens. They are involved in Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling pathways. Upon ligand binding to TLR/IL-1R, IRAK1 is recruited by MYD88 to the receptor-signaling complex, the association leads to IRAK1 phosphorylation by IRAK4 and subsequent autophosphorylation and kinase activation. Hyper-phosphorylated IRAK1 then disengages from the receptor complex, and forms a cytosolic IRAK1-TRAF6 complex. TRAF6 then interacts with TAK and TAB, resulting in eventual activation of the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Phosphorylated IRAK1 also undergoes ubiquitin-mediated degradation or sumoylation, which results in nuclear translocation and transcriptional activation of inflammatory target genes.
