Function

Integrin alpha-6/beta-4 is a receptor for laminin. Plays a critical structural role in the hemidesmosome of epithelial cells. Is required for the regulation of keratinocyte polarity and motility. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12482924, ECO:0000269PubMed:19403692}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cell junction, hemidesmosome. Note=Colocalizes with DST at the leading edge of migrating keratinocytes.

Disease Associations

Epidermolysis bullosa letalis, with pyloric atresia (EB- PA) [MIM:226730]: An autosomal recessive, frequently lethal, epidermolysis bullosa with variable involvement of skin, nails, mucosa, and with variable effects on the digestive system. It is characterized by mucocutaneous fragility, aplasia cutis congenita, and gastrointestinal atresia, which most commonly affects the pylorus. Pyloric atresia is a primary manifestation rather than a scarring process secondary to epidermolysis bullosa. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10873890, ECO:0000269PubMed:11251584, ECO:0000269PubMed:11328943, ECO:0000269PubMed:9422533, ECO:0000269PubMed:9546354, ECO:0000269PubMed:9792864, ECO:0000269PubMed:9892956}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Generalized atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa (GABEB) [MIM:226650]: A non-lethal, adult form of junctional epidermolysis bullosa characterized by life-long blistering of the skin, associated with hair and tooth abnormalities. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10792571}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Integrin alpha-6/beta-4 is predominantly expressed by epithelia. Isoform beta-4D is also expressed in colon and placenta. Isoform beta-4E is also expressed in epidermis, lung, duodenum, heart, spleen and stomach.
