About Lama4

Summary

Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel development and brown fat cell differentiation. Located in basement membrane and neuromuscular junction. Is active in synaptic cleft. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy 1JJ. Orthologous to human LAMA4 (laminin subunit alpha 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
