About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for LAMA2:
Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the
attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other
extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each
other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of
the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the
cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have
been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: LAMA2_HUMAN, P24043
Function: Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and
organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix
components

Recommended Name: Laminin subunit alpha-2 precursor  
Size: 3122 amino acids; 343905 Da
Subunit: Laminin is a complex glycoprotein, consisting of three different polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma),
which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule comprising one long and three short arms
with globules at each end. Alpha-2 is a subunit of laminin-2 (laminin-211 or merosin), laminin-4 (laminin-221 or
S-merosin) and laminin-12 (laminin-213). Interacts with FBLN1, FBLN2 and NID2
