Summary: Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle cell cellular homeostasis; positive regulation of cellular component organization; and vulval cell fate specification. Located in M band; cell surface; and striated muscle dense body. Is expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; nervous system; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysm; blood platelet disease (multiple); end stage renal disease; renal agenesis; and von Willebrand's disease 1. Orthologous to several human genes including ITGA2B (integrin subunit alpha 2b); ITGA5 (integrin subunit alpha 5); and ITGA8 (integrin subunit alpha 8).

What's a GeneRIF?

Taken together, the cytoplasmic tails of alpha integrins can bypass signaling from members of the Rho family of GTPases during development.
Title: α integrin cytoplasmic tails can rescue the loss of Rho-family GTPase signaling in the C. elegans somatic gonad.
The formation of such halos depends on the integrins PAT-2/PAT-3, UNC-112 and the GEF protein UIG-1, but not on the canonical ced-1/6/7 or ced-2/5/12 signaling modules
Title: Small GTPase CDC-42 promotes apoptotic cell corpse clearance in response to PAT-2 and CED-1 in C. elegans.
Our data suggest that PAT-2 functions through UIG-1 for CDC-42 activation, which in turn leads to cytoskeletal rearrangement and apoptotic cell internalization by muscle cells.
Title: Integrin α PAT-2/CDC-42 signaling is required for muscle-mediated clearance of apoptotic cells in Caenorhabditis elegans.
down-regulation of ina-1 is necessary for distal tip cell migration cessation and the up-regulation of pat-2 is required for directionality
Title: Control of C. elegans hermaphrodite gonad size and shape by vab-3/Pax6-mediated regulation of integrin receptors.
