Background

Integrin αvβ3 is a versatile integrin that recognizes a broad range of ECM ligands, including vitronectin, fibronectin, and osteopontin. It's involved in diverse processes such as angiogenesis, bone remodeling, and tumor progression. αvβ3 is particularly well-known for its role in promoting angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, which is critical in both normal development and pathological conditions like cancer. This integrin has also been a target for therapies aimed at inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis.
The integrin αvβ6 is unique in that it is expressed exclusively in epithelial cells, and β6 partners only with αv forming a single heterodimer. During embryogenesis αvβ6 is expressed at high levels in the developing lung, skin and kidney epithelia and its expression is downregulated in healthy adult epithelia. However recent unpublished data from our laboratory suggest that αvβ6 is expressed at high levels in the adult hair follicles
