B-integrin and twenty similar proteins {integrin} are transmembrane receptors for weak-binding glycoprotein adhesion molecules, such as extracellular-matrix fibronectin, collagen, vitronectin, and laminin. Inside cells, integrins link to cytoskeleton talin, vinculin, and actin microfilaments. Alpha-integrin maintains long-term potentiation (LTP) and aids memory.
