Summary
This gene encodes a member of the integrin family of cell surface proteins that mediate cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix and other cells. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the disulfide-linked heterodimeric alpha subunit which, in turn associates with a beta subunit to form the functional integrin receptor. Mice lacking the encoded protein mostly die after birth due to kidney defects, but some of animals that survive exhibit defects in the sensory hair cells of the inner ear.

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.
