Integrin alpha-6 (ITGA6), a transmembrane receptor subunit, forms heterodimers with beta subunits (e.g., β1 or β4) to mediate cell adhesion to laminin in the extracellular matrix. It plays critical roles in cell migration, survival, and tissue development, particularly in epithelial and stem cell niches. Dysregulation of ITGA6 is implicated in cancer progression, as its overexpression in tumors (e.g., breast, pancreatic, and glioblastoma) often correlates with enhanced invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis.
Antibodies targeting ITGA6 are valuable tools for studying its function and therapeutic potential. In research, they are used to block ITGA6-laminin interactions, modulate signaling pathways (e.g., PI3K/AKT), or detect expression levels in tissues. Clinically, anti-ITGA6 antibodies are explored for targeting cancer stem cells or inhibiting metastasis. For example, some studies highlight their utility in suppressing tumor growth in preclinical models by disrupting ITGA6-mediated survival signals. Additionally, ITGA6 antibodies aid in characterizing stem cell populations, such as in the skin or nervous system, where ITGA6 serves as a surface marker. Challenges remain in optimizing specificity and minimizing off-target effects, but ongoing work underscores their promise in both mechanistic studies and translational applications.
