The integrins of the urochordate Ciona intestinalis provide novel insights into the molecular evolution of the vertebrate integrin family

BACKGROUND: Integrins are a functionally significant family of metazoan cell surface adhesion receptors. The receptors are dimers composed of an alpha and a beta chain. Vertebrate genomes encode an expanded set of integrin alpha and beta chains in comparison with protostomes such as drosophila or th...
