GlossaryCD49f

protein aiding cell adhesion and migration, crucial for tissue maintenance

CD49f, also known as Integrin alpha-6 or ITGA6, is a protein found on the surface of certain cells that helps them stick to their surroundings. It plays a crucial role in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling, which are important for processes like wound healing and the maintenance of tissues, including hair follicles.
