Alpha-2 / Beta-1 integrin

Alpha2/beta1 is a receptor for collagen-I to VI, laminin and possibly fibronectin. It is expressed on B and T lymphocytes, platelets, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and melanoma cells. This receptor is also known as VLA-2 (very late activation antigen 2), GPIa-IIa (glycoprotein Ia-IIa on platelets) and ECMRII (extracellular matrix receptor II)
