Abstract

Netrin-4 activates endothelial integrin {alpha}6{beta}1.

Circulation research, 2011; PubMed, Mus Musculus Ntn4 — Homo sapiens ITGA6
ABSTRACT: Netrin-4 regulates vascular development. Identity of netrin-4 endothelial receptor and its subsequent cell functions is controversial. We previously demonstrated that the inhibition of netrin-1 canonical receptors, Unc5B and neogenin, expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells, do not suppress netrin-4-induced cell signaling and functions. Netrin family members were shown to signal through a range of receptors, including integrins (such as α3β1, α6β1, and α6β4) in nonendothelial cells.
