Integrin beta-5
Domain
The VWFA domain (or beta I domain) contains three cation-binding sites: the ligand-associated metal ion-binding site (LIMBS or SyMBS), the metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS), and the adjacent MIDAS site (ADMIDAS). This domain is also part of the ligand-binding site.
Function
Integrin alpha-V/beta-5 (ITGAV:ITGB5) is a receptor for fibronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligand.
(Microbial infection) Integrin ITGAV:ITGB5 acts as a receptor for adenovirus type C.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the integrin beta chain family.
