Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables several functions, including glycosphingolipid binding activity; integrin binding activity; and receptor ligand activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell adhesion and positive regulation of skeletal muscle acetylcholine-gated channel clustering. 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-111 trimer and laminin-511 trimer. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and leukoencephalopathy with variable cortical brain malformations and/or hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human LAMB1 (laminin subunit beta 1).
