摘要
Integrins are heterodimeric plasma membrane glycoproteins involved in cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions. The present communication reviews the distribution of several of the currently known integrin subunits in the corneal epithelium. The corneal epithelium contains the following integrin heterodimers: alpha-2-beta-1, alpha-3-beta-1, and alpha-6-beta-4. The expression of alpha(v) with an unknown beta-subunit is also recognized, whereas the expression of alpha-4 and alpha-5 subunits remains controversial. Some of the changes occurring in the distribution of integrins in response to wounding will also be discussed.
