Integrin, alpha Lis a human gene which functions in the immune system.
It is involved in cellular adhesion and costimulatory signaling.
It is the target of the drug efalizumab.
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, and also functions in lymphocyte costimulatory signaling.CD11a is one of the two components, along with CD18, which form lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1.
