Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables integrin binding activity. Involved in cell adhesion mediated by integrin and transforming growth factor beta production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Langerhans cell differentiation; enamel mineralization; and lung development. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of integrin alphav-beta6 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; diaphragm; limb; metanephros; and vertebral axis musculature. Used to study asthma and pulmonary emphysema. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 1H. Orthologous to human ITGB6 (integrin subunit beta 6).
