Lamb3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including basement membrane assembly; endodermal cell differentiation; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to act upstream of or within brown fat cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Predicted to be part of laminin-5 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 1A; junctional epidermolysis bullosa; and lung small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LAMB3 (laminin subunit beta 3).

Protein Domains
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 rat Lamb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
