Also known as CD11c
Summary
ITGAX (integrin subunit alpha X, HGNC:6152) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p11.2, encoding Integrin alpha-X (P20702). Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 is a receptor for fibrinogen.
This gene encodes the integrin alpha X chain protein. Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This protein combines with the beta 2 chain (ITGB2) to form a leukocyte-specific integrin referred to as inactivated-C3b (iC3b) receptor 4 (CR4). The alpha X beta 2 complex seems to overlap the properties of the alpha M beta 2 integrin in the adherence of neutrophils and monocytes to stimulated endothelium cells, and in the phagocytosis of complement coated particles. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 is a receptor for fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence G-P-R in fibrinogen. It mediates cell-cell interaction during inflammatory responses. It is especially important in monocyte adhesion and chemotaxis. Functions as a receptor of the erythrocyte-specific adhesion molecule ICAM4 and mediates erythrophagocytosis.
Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Alpha-X associates with beta-2.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes.
Domain organisation. The integrin I-domain (insert) is a VWFA domain. Integrins with I-domains do not undergo protease cleavage.
Similarity. Belongs to the integrin alpha chain family.
