Gene Summary

Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion. Located in external side of plasma membrane and focal adhesion. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; hematopoietic system; liver; mesenchyme derived from splanchnopleure; and umbilical blood vessel. Used to study platelet-type bleeding disorder 16. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Glanzmann's thrombasthenia; platelet-type bleeding disorder 16; thrombocytopenia; and von Willebrand's disease 1. Orthologous to human ITGA2B (integrin subunit alpha 2b). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
