Description
ITGB1 (Integrin Subunit Beta 1) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes a beta subunit, which is a type 1 transmembrane protein of the integrin beta chain family. ITGB1 is a heterodimeric cell-surface receptor involved in cell functions such as proliferation, migration, invasion, and survival. ITGB1 has been recognized to play a major role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Using luciferase assays, the researcher identified ITGB1 as a direct target of miR-134. ITGB1 is a direct target of miR-493-5p suggesting that ITGB1 and miR-493-5p may have potential prognostic value and may be useful as tumor biomarkers for the diagnosis of NSCLC patients. Diseases associated with ITGB1 include Gallbladder Cancer and Breast Cancer
