Npnt - nephronectin

Predicted to enable integrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell-cell adhesion mediated by integrin; pilomotor reflex; and positive regulation of alkaline phosphatase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion; and positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in basement membrane; extracellular region; and smooth muscle contractile fiber. Orthologous to human NPNT (nephronectin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
