"Integrin alpha4" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
An integrin alpha subunit that is unique in that it does not contain an I-domain, and its proteolytic cleavage site is near the middle of the extracellular portion of the polypeptide rather than close to the membrane, as in other integrin alpha subunits.
