Itga11 - integrin alpha 11

Predicted to enable collagen binding activity involved in cell-matrix adhesion and collagen receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within substrate-dependent cell migration. Predicted to be located in focal adhesion. Predicted to be part of integrin alpha11-beta1 complex. Is expressed in brain meninges; hindlimb digit mesenchyme; skeleton; tail paraxial mesenchyme; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human ITGA11 (integrin subunit alpha 11). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
