Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for ITGAE(NM_002208.4) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
Integrins are heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This gene encodes an I-domain-containing alpha integrin that undergoes post-translational cleavage in the extracellular domain, yielding disulfide-linked heavy and light chains. In combination with the beta 7 integrin, this protein forms the E-cadherin binding integrin known as the human mucosal lymphocyte-1 antigen. This protein is preferentially expressed in human intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), and in addition to a role in adhesion, it may serve as an accessory molecule for IEL activation.

- Integrin/activation marker CD103 (alphaEbeta7) is expressed on Epstein-Barr virus-specific tonsil-resident (but not peripheral blood mononuclear leukocyte-derived) cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
- CD103 expression on dendritic cells influences the balance between effector and regulatory T cell activity in the intestine.
- human alloantigen-induced CD103+ CD8+ T cells possess functional features of regulatory T cells
- CD8+/CD103+ tumor-reactive T lymphocytes infiltrating epithelial tumors most likely play a major role in antitumor cytotoxic response through alphaEbeta7-E-cadherin interactions.
- An investigation to evaluate the diagnostic value of relative number of CD103 expressing CD4(+) T-lymphocytes in the BAL fluid of patients with a variety of interstitial lung diseases, including pulmonary sarcoidosis, is reported.
- integrin alpha(E)(CD103)beta(7) is not only involved in epithelial retention, but also in shaping and proper intraepithelial morphogenesis of some leukocytes.
