Integrin alpha-2/beta-1 is a receptor for laminin, collagen, collagen C-propeptides, fibronectin and E-cadherin. It recognizes the proline-hydroxylated sequence G-F-P-G-E-R in collagen. It is responsible for adhesion of platelets and other cells to collagens, modulation of collagen and collagenase gene expression, force generation and organization of newly synthesized Extracellular domain matrix. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa188-365 from human ITGA2, fused to His-SUMO-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
