Target Details for CD103

Target: CD103 (ITGAE) (Integrin, alpha E (Antigen CD103, Human Mucosal Lymphocyte Antigen 1, alpha Polypeptide) (ITGAE))

Alternative Name: CD103

Background: CD103 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein known as αE integrin or Integrin αIEL chain. It belongs to integrin family and is primarily found on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). CD103 is also expressed on a subpopulation of lamina propria T cells, epithelial dendritic cells, lamina propria-derived dendritic cells, and a small subset of peripheral lymphocytes. T regulatory cells express high level of CD103. The CD103 expression on lymphocytes can be induced upon activation and TGF-β stimulation. In association with integrin β7, CD103 is expressed as αE/β7 heterodimer. Mature CD103 protein can be cleaved into 2 chains, a 150 kD (C-terminal) chain and a 25 kD (N-terminal) chain, which remain linked by disulfide bonds. CD103 binds to E-cadherin and mediates homing of lymphocytes to the intestinal epithelium.
