Integrin, alpha E (ITGAE) also known as CD103 (cluster of differentiation 103) is an

CD49d
).

Tissue distribution

CD103 is expressed widely on

mesenteric lymph nodes, known as CD103 dendritic cells, also expresses this marker.[9]

It is useful in identifying

Function

The chief ligand for αEβ7 is

E-cadherin, a cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) found on epithelial cells.[11] It is probably important for T cell homing to the intestinal sites[12] and thymocyte contacts with thymic reticuloepithelial cells.[13]

Tregs are important for decreasing the immune response and appear to play a crucial role in the prevention of

CD103
and have been attributed regulatory activity. It is unclear whether the presence of CD103 on Treg cells represents a specialized feature for Treg, or Treg differentiation of IEL T cells.
