Gene Summary

Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation. Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion; extracellular matrix organization; and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; metanephros; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Churg-Strauss syndrome; granulomatosis with polyangiitis; and thrombosis. Orthologous to human VTN (vitronectin).
