Background

ITGA8 is a gene that codes for a protein that functions in the genesis of kidneys and other organs by facilitating the recruitment of mesenchymal cells into epithelial structures as well as working as a neuronal receptor for TNC to regulate neurite outgrowth, and is made up of 1063 amino acids, weighs approximately 117 kDa. Studies are being conducted on several diseases and disorders including keratopathy, carcinoma, kidney disease, laryngitis, Parkinson's disease, glomerulonephritis, Alzheimer's disease, melanoma, hepatitis, and neuronitis. ITGA8 has also been shown to have interactions with FN1, ITGB1, ITGA3, NPNT, and VNT in pathways such as the CDK5, Tec kinases signaling, integrin-mediated cell adhesion, signal transduction, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pathways.
