[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FINC_HUMAN FINC_HUMAN]] Defects in FN1 are the cause of glomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits type 2 (GFND2) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/601894 601894]]; also known as familial glomerular nephritis with fibronectin deposits or fibronectin glomerulopathy. GFND is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal dominant disorder characterized clinically by proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and hypertension that leads to end-stage renal failure in the second to fifth decade of life.<ref>PMID:18268355</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITB3_HUMAN ITB3_HUMAN]] Defects in ITGB3 are a cause of Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/273800 273800]]; also known as thrombasthenia of Glanzmann and Naegeli. GT is the most common inherited disease of platelets. It is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding of mild-to-moderate severity and the inability of this integrin to recognize macromolecular or synthetic peptide ligands. GT has been classified clinically into types I and II. In type I, platelets show absence of the glycoprotein IIb/beta-3 complexes at their surface and lack fibrinogen and clot retraction capability. In type II, the platelets express the glycoprotein IIb/beta-3 complex at reduced levels (5-20% controls), have detectable amounts of fibrinogen, and have low or moderate clot retraction capability. The platelets of GT 'variants' have normal or near normal (60-100%) expression of dysfunctional receptors.<ref>PMID:2392682</ref> <ref>PMID:1371279</ref> <ref>PMID:1602006</ref> <ref>PMID:1438206</ref> <ref>PMID:8781422</ref> <ref>PMID:9376589</ref> <ref>PMID:9215749</ref> <ref>PMID:9790984</ref> <ref>PMID:9684783</ref> <ref>PMID:10233432</ref> <ref>PMID:11588040</ref> <ref>PMID:11897046</ref> <ref>PMID:12083483</ref> <ref>PMID:12353082</ref> <ref>PMID:15583747</ref> <ref>PMID:15634267</ref> <ref>PMID:15748237</ref>

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITAV_HUMAN ITAV_HUMAN]] The alpha-V integrins are receptors for vitronectin, cytotactin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vWF. They recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FINC_HUMAN FINC_HUMAN]] Fibronectins bind cell surfaces and various compounds including collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin. Fibronectins are involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, opsonization, wound healing, and maintenance of cell shape.<ref>PMID:8114919</ref> <ref>PMID:11209058</ref> <ref>PMID:15665290</ref> <ref>PMID:19379667</ref> Anastellin binds fibronectin and induces fibril formation. This fibronectin polymer, named superfibronectin, exhibits enhanced adhesive properties. Both anastellin and superfibronectin inhibit tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Anastellin activates p38 MAPK and inhibits lysophospholipid signaling.<ref>PMID:8114919</ref> <ref>PMID:11209058</ref> <ref>PMID:15665290</ref> <ref>PMID:19379667</ref> [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITB3_HUMAN ITB3_HUMAN]] Integrin alpha-V/beta-3 is a receptor for cytotactin, fibronectin, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin, vitronectin and von Willebrand factor. Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vitronectin. Integrins alpha-IIb/beta-3 and alpha-V/beta-3 recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 recognizes the sequence H-H-L-G-G-G-A-K-Q-A-G-D-V in fibrinogen gamma chain. Following activation integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 brings about platelet/platelet interaction through binding of soluble fibrinogen. This step leads to rapid platelet aggregation which physically plugs ruptured endothelial surface. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions.
