ITGAM

HGNC ID: 6149

Target Abstract:

CD11b binds noncovalently to CD18 to form αM-β2 integrin (Mac-1), which binds to CD54 (ICAM-1), C3bi, and fibrinogen.Mac-1 is expressed on macrophages, NK cells, granulocytes, microglial cells, activated lymphocytes, and mouse B-1 cells.CD11b binds to its ligand and participates in the interactions of adherent cells. This antibody also cross recognizes human CD11b and detects this antigen on monocytes, granulocytes and a certain group of NK cells in human peripheral blood.

Mouse Itgam Predicted Functions

Enables complement component C3b binding activity; heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity; and heparin binding activity. Contributes to cargo receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including central nervous system development; endocytosis; and positive regulation of neuron death. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activated T cell proliferation; leukocyte migration; and microglia development. Located in external side of plasma membrane and nucleus. Is integral component of membrane. Part of integrin alphaM-beta2 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; lymphatic vessel; thymus; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lupus nephritis. Orthologous to human ITGAM (integrin subunit alpha M).
