Galpha(s)-coupled receptor signaling actively down-regulates α(4)β(1)-integrin affinity: A possible mechanism for cell de-adhesion

BACKGROUND: Activation of integrins in response to inside-out signaling serves as a basis for leukocyte arrest on endothelium, and migration of immune cells. Integrin-dependent adhesion is controlled by the conformational state of the molecule (i.e. change in the affinity for the ligand and molecula...
