Description
Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Acts upstream of or within muscle attachment and myelination in peripheral nervous system. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adaxial cell; central nervous system; eye; musculature system; and otic vesicle. Used to study congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy 1A and muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy; congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy 1A; muscular dystrophy; and myopia. Orthologous to human LAMA2 (laminin subunit alpha 2).
