ITGB1 (Integrin Subunit Beta 1) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes a beta subunit, which is a type 1 transmembrane protein of the integrin beta chain family. ITGB1 is a heterodimeric cell-surface receptor involved in cell functions such as proliferation, migration, invasion, and survival. ITGB1 has been recognized to play a major role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Using luciferase assays, the researcher identified ITGB1 as a direct target of miR-134. ITGB1 is a direct target of miR-493-5p suggesting that ITGB1 and miR-493-5p may have potential prognostic value and may be useful as tumor biomarkers for the diagnosis of NSCLC patients. Diseases associated with ITGB1 include Gallbladder Cancer and Breast Cancer.
CD47 (Cluster of Differentiation 47) also known as integrin associated protein (IAP) is a transmembrane protein that in humans is encoded by the CD47 gene. CD47 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and partners with membrane integrins and also binds the ligands thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and signal-regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα).CD-47 acts as a don't eat me signal to macrophages of the immune system which has made it a potential therapeutic target in some cancers.
