A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins.

Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling.

Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

[5] Specific loss of this integrin chain in the intestinal epithelium, and thus of their hemidesmosomes, induces long-standing colitis and infiltrating adenocarcinomas.
