Integrin alpha M (ITGAM) is one protein subunit that forms heterodimeric integrin alpha-M beta-2 (α_Mβ₂) molecule, also known as macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1) or complement receptor 3 (CR3).^[1] ITGAM is also known as CR3A, and cluster of differentiation molecule 11B (CD11B). The second chain of α_Mβ₂ is the common integrin β₂ subunit known as CD18, and integrin α_Mβ₂ thus belongs to the β₂ subfamily (or leukocyte) integrins.^[2]

α_Mβ₂ is expressed on the surface of many leukocytes involved in the innate immune system, including monocytes, granulocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells.^[1] It mediates inflammation by regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration and has been implicated in several immune processes such as phagocytosis, cell-mediated cytotoxicity, chemotaxis and cellular activation.^[1] It is involved in the complement system due to its capacity to bind inactivated complement component 3b (iC3b).^[3] The ITGAM (alpha) subunit of integrin α_Mβ₂ is directly involved in causing the adhesion and spreading of cells but cannot mediate cellular migration without the presence of the β2 (CD18) subunit.^[1]

In genomewide association studies, single nucleotide polymorphisms in ITGAM had the strongest association with systemic lupus erythematosus, with an odds ratio of 1.65 for the T allele of rs9888739 and lupus.^[4]^[5]

In histopathology, immunohistochemistry with antibodies against CD11B is frequently used to identify macrophages and microglia.
