Summary: Enables integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including early endosome to late endosome transport; embryonic process involved in female pregnancy; and protein localization to cell surface. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of integrin-mediated signaling pathway. Located in Golgi apparatus; apical plasma membrane; and cell surface. Colocalizes with cytoplasmic vesicle; membrane raft; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; endometrium; medulla oblongata lateral wall; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study placental insufficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 10. Orthologous to human EMP2 (epithelial membrane protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
