Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 16777 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables enzyme binding activity; glycosphingolipid binding activity; and integrin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell adhesion. Acts upstream of or within cell migration; embryo implantation; and neuron projection development. Located in basement membrane; nucleus; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of laminin-1 complex and laminin-10 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and lissencephaly 5. Orthologous to human LAMB1 (laminin subunit beta 1). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a gene trapped allele lack basement membranes and fail to survive past E5.5. Mice heterozygous for a spontaneous mutation exhibit dystonis with impaired neuron firing. [provided by MGI curators] |
