Lama5

Predicted to enable cell adhesion mediator activity; integrin binding activity; and receptor ligand activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon guidance; integrin-mediated signaling pathway; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hair follicle development; morphogenesis of an epithelium; and trunk neural crest cell migration. Part of laminin-5 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bent bone dysplasia syndrome 2 and familial nephrotic syndrome. Orthologous to human LAMA5 (laminin subunit alpha 5).

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 Lama5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
