Summary
Enables collagen binding activity; integrin binding activity; and laminin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gland development; positive regulation of cell migration; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Located in several cellular components, including axon terminus; focal adhesion; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Biomarker of placental insufficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Behcet's disease; artery disease (multiple); blood platelet disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); and von Willebrand's disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ITGA2 (integrin subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
