Itgav - integrin subunit alpha V

Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including blood vessel morphogenesis; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell projection membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and focal adhesion. Predicted to be part of alphav-beta3 integrin-HMGB1 complex; alphav-beta3 integrin-IGF-1-IGF1R complex; and integrin complex. Used to study corneal neovascularization; coronary stenosis; and ischemia. Biomarker of hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in abdominal aortic aneurysm and acute myeloid leukemia. Orthologous to human ITGAV (integrin subunit alpha V).
