Summary
ITGAM :: ITGB2 is the principal leukocyte receptor involved in the recognition of the fungus Candida albicans. Recognition of Pra1p protein of C. albicans by ITGAM :: ITGB2 plays a pivotal role in determining fungal virulence, and host response/protection against C. albicans infection. (Demonstrated in murine model)
ITGB2 is involved in cell-cell contact signalling between activated apoptotic lymphocytes and dendritic cells (DC) during the maturation of DCs.
ITGAX::ITGB2 is a leukocyte receptor for Candida albicans and is essential for protection against fungal infections.

Entrez Gene
Summary The product of this gene belongs to the integrin beta chain family of proteins. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. This gene encodes the integrin beta chain beta 2. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. For example, beta 2 combines with the alpha L chain to form the integrin LFA-1, and combines with the alpha M chain to form the integrin Mac-1. Integrins are known to participate in cell adhesion as well as cell-surface mediated signalling. Defects in this gene are the cause of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD1). Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
