ITGB1 (Integrin Subunit Beta 1) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes a beta subunit, which is a type 1 transmembrane protein of the integrin beta chain family. ITGB1 is a heterodimeric cell-surface receptor involved in cell functions such as proliferation, migration, invasion, and survival. ITGB1 has been recognized to play a major role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Using luciferase assays, the researcher identified ITGB1 as a direct target of miR-134. ITGB1 is a direct target of miR-493-5p suggesting that ITGB1 and miR-493-5p may have potential prognostic value and may be useful as tumor biomarkers for the diagnosis of NSCLC patients. Diseases associated with ITGB1 include Gallbladder Cancer and Breast Cancer.

Integrin β-1 (ITGB1) belongs to the integrin β chain family. Integrin family members are membrane receptors involved in cell adhesion and recognition in a variety of processes including embryogenesis, hemostasis, tissue repair, immune response and metastatic diffusion of tumor cells. ITGB1 is an integrin unit associated with very late antigen receptors, which contains one VWFA domain. It is known to conjoin with α-3 subunit to create α3β1 complex that reacts to such molecules as netrin-1 and reelin.
