ITGAL encodes the integrin alpha L chain. Integrins are
heterodimeric integral membrane proteins composed of an alpha chain
and a beta chain. This I-domain containing alpha integrin combines
with the beta 2 chain (ITGB2) to form the integrin lymphocyte
function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), which is expressed on all
leukocytes. LFA-1 plays a central role in leukocyte intercellular
adhesion through interactions with its ligands, ICAMs 1-3
(intercellular adhesion molecules 1 through 3), and also functions
in lymphocyte costimulatory signaling. Two transcript variants
encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
