Itga2

Enables amyloid-beta binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell migration; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Located in basal part of cell and external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); blood platelet disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); retinal vascular disease (multiple); and von Willebrand's disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ITGA2 (integrin subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Itga2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
