Human Integrin alpha L beta 2 (ITGAL&ITGB2) Heterodimer Protein

Integrin alpha-L beta-2 is a receptor for ICAM1, ICAM2, ICAM3 and ICAM4. Integrin alpha L beta 2 is also a receptor for F11R (By similarity). Involved in a variety of immune phenomena including leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction, cytotoxic T-cell mediated killing, and antibody dependent killing by granulocytes and monocytes. Contributes to natural killer cell cytotoxicity. Involved in leukocyte adhesion and transmigration of leukocytes including T-cells and neutrophils. Required for generation of common lymphoid progenitor cells in bone marrow, indicating the role in lymphopoiesis. Integrin alpha L beta 2 in association with ICAM3, contributes to apoptotic neutrophil phagocytosis by macrophages.
