Molecular model of the human integrin alpha-E beta-7 dimer. The alpha subunit is shown in green, the beta subunit in red-brown. Integrins are cell surface receptors that play a crucial role in cell adhesion and signalling. Dysfunction of integrins is associated with a wide range of human diseases, including cancer and immune diseases, which makes integrins therapeutic targets for drug discovery.
