Enables integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell-cell adhesion mediated by integrin; pilomotor reflex; and positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade. Acts 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. Located in basement membrane; extracellular region; and smooth muscle contractile fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study bilateral renal aplasia.
