Itgb7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable integrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including integrin-mediated signaling pathway; leukocyte tethering or rolling; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to act upstream of or within T cell migration. Predicted to be part of integrin alpha4-beta7 complex. Predicted to be active in cell surface and focal adhesion. Orthologous to human ITGB7 (integrin subunit beta 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Itgb7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
