Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables enzyme binding activity; glycosphingolipid binding activity; and integrin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell adhesion. Acts upstream of or within cell migration; embryo implantation; and neuron projection development. Located in basement membrane; nucleus; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of laminin-1 complex and laminin-10 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and lissencephaly 5. Orthologous to human LAMB1 (laminin subunit beta 1).
