Integrin alpha 5 belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This gene encodes the integrin alpha 5 chain. Alpha chain 5 undergoes post translational cleavage in the extracellular domain to yield disulfide linked light and heavy chains that join with beta 1 to form a fibronectin receptor. In addition to adhesion, integrins are known to participate in cell surface mediated signalling. It is expressed on thymocytes, activated T cells, mast cells, and a variety of mouse cell lines.Synonyms: CD49 antigen-like family member E, FNRA, Fibronectin receptor subunit alpha, Integrin alpha-5, Integrin alpha-F, VLA-5, VLA5
