Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; glycosphingolipid binding activity; and integrin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including basement membrane assembly; neuronal-glial interaction involved in cerebral cortex radial glia guided migration; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Predicted to act upstream of or within embryo implantation and neuron projection development. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and lissencephaly 5. Orthologous to human LAMB1 (laminin subunit beta 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
