The integrin alpha11beta1 along with alpha1beta1, alpha2beta1 and alpha10beta1 are referred to as a collagen receptor subgroup of the integrin family. Integrin alpha11beta1 binds preferentially to the fibril-forming collagen types I and II, binding to type III is weaker and collagens IV and VI are poor ligands (Zhang et al. 2003).
