Summary: Enables heparin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon guidance; positive regulation of cell migration; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in basement membrane. Part of laminin-5 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; basement membrane; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and skin. Used to study junctional epidermolysis bullosa Herlitz type and junctional epidermolysis bullosa non-Herlitz type. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in junctional epidermolysis bullosa and lung small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LAMC2 (laminin subunit gamma 2).

Study show that integrin alpha9beta1 antagonizes both alpha3beta1-dependent mTLD/BMP-1 expression and basement membrane (BM) assembly/maturation. These findings indicate a complex interplay between these two integrins whereby alpha3beta1 promotes, and coordinately, alpha9beta1 inhibits mTLD/BMP-1 production and laminin-gamma2 processing to effect timely BM assembly and maturation during wound healing.

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.
