Lama3 - laminin, alpha 3 Gene

Also Known as [a]3B; Lama3B

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 16774

Summary

Predicted to enable Integrin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon guidance; integrin-mediated signaling pathway; and morphogenesis of a polarized epithelium. Located in basement membrane. Part of laminin-5 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Used to study junctional epidermolysis bullosa and junctional epidermolysis bullosa non-Herlitz type. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in junctional epidermolysis bullosa; junctional epidermolysis bullosa Herlitz type; junctional epidermolysis bullosa non-Herlitz type; and lung small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LAMA3 (laminin subunit alpha 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
