Summary: Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including endothelial cell development; muscle attachment; and notochord development. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and membrane. Predicted to be active in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; head; mesoderm; pectoral fin; and trunk musculature.

What's a GeneRIF?

Knockdown of Lama4 in zebrafish resulted inthe same kind of cardiac dysfunction & hemorrhages seen in Ilk mutants. There is epistatic regulation between laminin-alpha4 (Lama4), integrin, and Ilk.
Title: Laminin-alpha4 and integrin-linked kinase mutations cause human cardiomyopathy via simultaneous defects in cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells.

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.
