SUM	Integrins are a large family of cell surface alpha-beta heterodimers involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions."
EVO	A homology was found between platelet glycoprotein IIB alpha peptides (GEM:17q2132/ITGB3), fibronectin receptor (GEM:12q1/ITGA5), and vitronectin receptor (GEM:02q3/ITGAV). All the three genes belong to the integrin superfamily."
