In the endoplasmic reticulum, integrin subunits find their binding partners and form heterodimers.
Monomeric integrins never reach the cell surface.

During gastrulation, type 1 EMT is associated with de novo expression of a5b1, which is a receptor for fibronectin.
Type 2 EMT in experimental kidney fibrosis is associated with increased a5 integrin expression.
