Integrin α-4/β-7 - also known as Lymphocyte Peyer’s patch adhesion molecule-1 (LPAM-1) - is an integrin heterodimer composed of covalently linked α-4 and β-7 subunits. Expressed on the surface of ...
Protein evolution occurs slowly via small incremental mutations—usually. However, dramatic changes can happen: for instance, a fragment of one protein getting copied into the middle of another. While ...
Preventing the interaction between the cellular adhesion integrin α4β7 and endothelial ligand mucosal addressin cell-adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) is a validated strategy for Crohn’s disease and ...
