These are a family of transmembrane proteins that act as receptors on the plasma membrane. They recognize and bind to fibronectins and laminins on the outside of cells and are the primary means by which cells bind to ECM proteins. They also make 2 main types of connections to the cytoskeleton on the inside of cells, and they regulate cell movement, attachment, and signaling.
