Function |
Plays a central role in cell adhesion in hematopoietic cells. Acts by activating the integrin beta-1-3 (ITGB1, ITGB2 and ITGB3). Required for integrin-mediated platelet adhesion and leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. Required for activation of integrin beta-2 (ITGB2) in polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMNs) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell projection, podosome {ECO:0000250}. Note=Present in the F-actin surrounding ring structure of podosomes, which are specialized adhesion structures of hematopoietic cells. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in lymph node. Expressed in thymus, spleen and leukocytes. Weakly expressed in placenta, small intestine, stomach, testis and lung. Overexpressed in B-cell malignancies. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12697302, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12886250}.
