Enables several functions, including cytoskeletal protein binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and fibronectin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including bicellular tight junction assembly; regulation of cell projection organization; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including acrosomal vesicle; focal adhesion; and hemidesmosome. Part of integrin alpha3-beta1 complex and integrin alpha9-beta1 complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic membrane. Used to study hydrocephalus and myocardial infarction. Biomarker of glomerulonephritis. Orthologous to human ITGB1 (integrin subunit beta 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
