The integrin family is composed of 24 members [5]. Ten years ago we published a book devoted to the nine aI domain integrin subunits [24]. These are shown in Fig. 1. I am pleased that most of the original authors have been able to contribute to the updated version. In 2003, the knockout mouse phenotypes for all of the aI domain integrins had not yet been published. They are now. The phenotypes of mouse strain deficient in individual aI integrins are summarized in Table 1.
