Human ∫ ig-h3 (alpha-3/beta-1 integrin, keratoepithelin) is a secreted, 683-amino acid, transforming growth factor-inducible, extracellular matrix adhesion molecule (1,2). ∫ ig-h3 contains an amino-terminal secretory sequence and a carboxy-terminal integrin-binding Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) domain (2). ∫ ig-h3 is implicated in mechanisms leading to proliferation, differentiation, wound healing, and morphogenesis of corneal tissues (3). Mutations in the ∫ ig-h3 gene, along with elevated levels of ∫ ig-h3 protein in human corneas, occurs with granular dystrophy (GCD) and other inherited disorders of the cornea (4,5). ∫ ig-h3 is also a structural component of the human bladder extracellular matrix and may influence nuclear regulatory or structural functions (6).
