Integrin αIIbβ3 transmembrane domain separation mediates bi-directional signaling across the plasma membrane.

Integrins play an essential role in hemostasis, thrombosis, and cell migration, and they transmit bidirectional signals. Transmembrane/cytoplasmic domains are hypothesized to associate in the resting integrins; whereas, ligand binding and intracellular activating signals induce transmembrane domain...
