Integrin alpha-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ITGA6 gene.The ITGA6 protein product is the integrin alpha chain alpha 6. Integrins are integral cell-surface proteins composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. A given chain may combine with multiple partners resulting in different integrins. For example alpha 6 may combine with beta 4 in the integrin referred to as TSP180 or with beta 1 in the integrin VLA-6.
