Itgb8 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable extracellular matrix protein binding activity and integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hard palate development; mononuclear cell differentiation; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Part of integrin alphav-beta8 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; male reproductive system; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human ITGB8 (integrin subunit beta 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Itgb8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Integrin beta chain VWA domain
  • cytoplasmic domain
  • Integrin plexin domain
  • vWFA
  • protein binding
  • receptor binding
  • cytosolic tail domain
  • Integrin beta subunits (N-terminal portion of extracellular region)
