Integrin ITGA4/ITGB7 (alpha-4/beta-7) (Peyer patches-specific homing receptor LPAM-1) is an adhesion molecule that mediates lymphocyte migration and homing to gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) (Probable). Integrin ITGA4/ITGB7 interacts with the cell surface adhesion molecules MADCAM1 which is normally expressed by the vascular endothelium of the gastrointestinal tract . Interacts also with VCAM1 and fibronectin, an extracellular matrix component (Probable). It recognizes one or more domains within the alternatively spliced CS-1 region of fibronectin (Probable). Interactions involve the tripeptide L-D-T in MADCAM1, and L-D-V in fibronectin (Probable). Integrin ITGAE/ITGB7 (alpha-E/beta-7, HML-1) is a receptor for E-cadherin . .; (Microbial infection) Binds to HIV-1 gp120, thereby allowing the virus to enter GALT, which is thought to be the major trigger of AIDS disease. Interaction would involve a tripeptide L-D-I in HIV-1 gp120. .
