Members of this family are found in a set of mucosal cellular adhesion proteins and adopt an immunoglobulin-like beta-sandwich structure, with seven strands arranged in two beta-sheets in a Greek-key topology. They are essential for recruitment of lymphocytes to specific tissues [1].
Integrins have been found in animals and their homologues have also been found in cyanobacteria, probably due to horizontal gene transfer [1]. This domain corresponds to the integrin beta VWA domain.
This domain is found in integrin alpha and integrin alpha precursors to the C terminus of a number of Pfam:PF01839 repeats and to the N-terminus of the Pfam:PF00357 cytoplasmic region. This region is composed of an immunoglobulin-like domain.
