LFA-1 (lymphocyte function associated molecule-1) is one of the leukocyte integrins. It is a heterodimer consisting of a and b subunits of 160-170 kDa and 95-100 kDa respectively. LFA-1 promotes non-antigen dependent adhesion of T-cells to a variety of lymphoid cells that bear its complementary receptor I-CAM-1 (1). It has a broad distribution and is found on most common lymphocytes.Synonyms: CD11 antigen-like family member A, Integrin alpha-L, LFA-1, LFA1, Leukocyte adhesion glycoprotein LFA-1 alpha chain, Leukocyte function-associated molecule 1 alpha chain
