"Since it is known that γC binds and activates endothelial αvβ3, a transmembrane integrin receptor involved in intracellular signaling mediated by the tyrosine kinases FAK and Src, we hypothesized that γC alters endothelial barrier function by activating the FAK-Src pathway leading to junction dissociation and RhoA driven cytoskeletal stress-fiber formation."

"The current study supports a direct binding interaction between γC and αvβ3."

"Since FAK has be implicated in integrin-mediated barrier dysfunction [ xref ] and previous experiments denote the binding of γC to integrin αvβ3 [ xref ], we sought to deduce the role of FAK in γC-induced microvascular hyperpermeability."
