Background: Integrin beta 6 (ITGB6) is a protein that forms a heterodimer with the integrin alpha v (αv) subunit, creating the integrin αvβ6 complex. ITGB6 is involved in cell adhesion and migration by interacting with the extracellular matrix (ECM). This interaction is essential for tissue repair and regeneration. ITGB6 transduces signals from the ECM to the cell, influencing cell behavior, including proliferation, differentiation, and survival. ITGB6 plays a role in the activation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), a cytokine involved in immune regulation, cell growth, and differentiation. ITGB6 is often overexpressed in various cancers, including epithelial carcinomas. ITGB6 is implicated in the development of fibrosis in organs such as the lungs, liver, and kidneys. Targeting ITGB6 could help in treating fibrotic diseases by modulating the TGF-β pathway. Overall, ITGB6's role in critical cellular processes and disease mechanisms makes it a promising target for therapeutic interventions in cancer, fibrosis, and potentially other conditions.
