Itgb2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Contributes to cell adhesion molecule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including leukocyte migration involved in inflammatory response; positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; and positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process. Located in cell surface. Used to study nephritis and pneumonia. Biomarker of allergic rhinitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary restenosis; leukocyte adhesion deficiency; and leukocyte adhesion deficiency 1. Orthologous to human ITGB2 (integrin subunit beta 2).
