Summary: Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon guidance; cell-cell adhesion; and hemidesmosome assembly. Located in basement membrane. Part of laminin-5 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Used to study junctional epidermolysis bullosa and junctional epidermolysis bullosa non-Herlitz type. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in junctional epidermolysis bullosa and lung small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LAMA3 (laminin subunit alpha 3).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

mRNA and Protein(s)

NM_001347461.2 → NP_001334390.1 laminin subunit alpha-3 isoform 3A precursor

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) represents use of an alternate promoter and therefore differs in the 5' UTR and 5' coding region, compared to variant 1. These differences cause translation initiation at an alternate start codon and result in an isoform (3A) with a distinct N-terminus, compared to isoform 3B.
