ITGA11produces

ITGA11produces is a term that may refer to a gene or a protein involved in biological processes. The gene ITGA11 encodes for integrin subunit alpha 11, a protein that belongs to the integrin family. Integrins are transmembrane receptors that play crucial roles in cell-cell adhesion, cell-extracellular matrix interactions, and signal transduction. Integrin subunit alpha 11, when heterodimerized with a specific beta subunit, forms a functional receptor complex. This complex is known to interact with various extracellular matrix components, influencing cell behavior such as migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Research suggests that ITGA11 expression is particularly prominent in certain cell types, including fibroblasts and muscle cells, where it contributes to tissue development and maintenance. Aberrant ITGA11 expression has been implicated in various disease states, prompting ongoing investigation into its precise functions and potential therapeutic targeting. The term ITGA11produces could therefore be used in a biological context to indicate the presence or activity of this specific integrin subunit and its associated biological functions.
