Itga3 - integrin subunit alpha 3

Enables several functions, including fibronectin binding activity; integrin binding activity; and laminin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including maternal process involved in female pregnancy; positive regulation of epithelial cell migration; and regulation of cell projection organization. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; growth cone filopodium; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of integrin alpha3-beta1 complex. Biomarker of glomerulonephritis and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human ITGA3 (integrin subunit alpha 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
