DESCRIPTION

Also known as ILK_HUMAN, ILK, ILK1, ILK2. Receptor-proximal protein kinase regulating integrin-mediated signal transduction (PubMed:8538749, PubMed:9736715). May act as a mediator of inside-out integrin signaling (PubMed:10712922). Focal adhesion protein part of the complex ILK-PINCH (PubMed:10712922). This complex is considered to be one of the convergence points of integrin- and growth factor-signaling pathway (PubMed:10712922). Could be implicated in mediating cell architecture, adhesion to integrin substrates and anchorage-dependent growth in epithelial cells (PubMed:10712922). Regulates cell motility by forming a complex with PARVB (PubMed:32528174). Phosphorylates beta-1 and beta-3 integrin subunit on serine and threonine residues, but also AKT1 and GSK3B (PubMed:8538749, PubMed:9736715). Interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of ITGB1 (PubMed:10712922). Could also interact with integrin ITGB2, ITGB3 and/or ITGB5 (PubMed:10712922). Interacts (via ANK repeats) with LIMS1 and LIMS2 (PubMed:12167643, PubMed:19074270, PubMed:19117955). Interacts with PARVA (via C-terminus) and PARVB; these compete for the same binding site (PubMed:11402068, PubMed:15284246, PubMed:15817463, PubMed:20005845, PubMed:20117114). Interacts probably also with TGFB1I1 (By similarity). Interacts (via ANK repeats) with EPHA1 (via SAM domain); stimulated by EFNA1 but independent of the kinase activity of EPHA1 (PubMed:19118217). Interacts with FERMT2 (By similarity). Interacts with LIMD2; leading to activate the protein kinase activity (PubMed:24590809). Interacts with PXN/PAXILLIN (via LD motif 4) (PubMed:15817463). Interacts with CCDC25 (via cytoplasmic region); initiating the ILK-PARVB cascade to induce cytoskeleton rearrangement and directional migration of cells (PubMed:32528174).
