Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Integrin alpha-9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGA9 gene.This gene encodes an alpha integrin. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane glycoproteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain that mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. The protein encoded by this gene, when bound to the beta 1 chain, forms an integrin that is a receptor for VCAM1, cytotactin and osteopontin.
