[HTML][HTML] Isolation, cloning, and sequence analysis of the integrin subunit α10, a β1-associated collagen binding integrin expressed on chondrocytes

We have found that chondrocytes express a novel collagen type II-binding integrin, a new
member of the β1-integrin family. The integrin α subunit, which has aM r of 160 kDa reduced,
was isolated from bovine chondrocytes by collagen type II affinity purification. The human
homologue was obtained by screening a human chondrocyte library with a bovine cDNA
probe. Cloning and cDNA sequence analysis of the human integrin α subunit designated
α10 show that it shares the general structure of other integrin α subunits. The predicted …
