Function Integrin alpha-8/beta-1 functions in the genesis of kidney and probably of other organs by regulating the recruitment of mesenchymal cells into epithelial structures. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands including TNC, FN1, SPP1 TGFB1, TGFB3 and VTN. NPNT is probably its functional ligand in kidney genesis. Neuronal receptor for TNC it mediates cell-cell interactions and regulates neurite outgrowth of sensory and motor neurons. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12415008, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15721307}.
Subcellular Location Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24439109}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24439109}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24439109}.
Tissue Specificity Expressed in mesenchymal cells, including alveolar myofibroblasts, kidney mesangial cells and hepatic stellar cells and vascular and visceral smooth muscle (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10504498, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7768999}.
Top Pathways Focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
