Integrin modulator 1 is a potent and selective α4β1 integrin agonist, with an IC50 of 9.8 nM for RGD-binding α4β1. Integrin modulator 1 increases cell adhesion mediated by α4β1 integrin, with an EC50 of 12.9 nM[1]. Integrin modulator 1 (2-10 μg mL; 30 min) significantly increases Jurkat E6.1 cell adhesion[1].Integrin modulator 1 (1-100 nM; 1 h) strongly and significantly increases ERK1 2 phosphorylation in Jurkat E6.1 cells[1].Integrin modulator 1 (1 nM-10 μM; 30 min) significantly increases the binding of HUTS-21 antibody to Jurkat E6.1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].

α2β1 Integrin Ligand Peptide TFA interacts with integrin receptors on the cell membrane, mediating extracellular signaling and potentially acting as an antagonist of the collagen receptor.
The Asp-Gly-Glu-Ala (DGEA) amino acid domain of type I collagen interacts with the α2β1 integrin receptor on the cell membrane and mediates extracellular signals into cells. It is a potential antagonist of collagen receptors.
