Function

Integrin alpha-3/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin, laminin, collagen, epiligrin, thrombospondin and CSPG4. Alpha- 3/beta-1 may mediate with LGALS3 the stimulation by CSPG4 of endothelial cells migration. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15181153}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:15611341}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:15611341}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:15611341}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269PubMed:15611341}.

Disease Associations

Interstitial lung disease, nephrotic syndrome, and epidermolysis bullosa, congenital (ILNEB) [MIM:614748]: A multiorgan disorder characterized by congenital nephrotic syndrome, interstitial lung disease, and epidermolysis bullosa. The respiratory and renal features predominate, and lung involvement accounts for the lethal course of the disease. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22512483}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 1 is widely expressed. Isoform 2 is expressed in brain and heart. In brain, both isoforms are exclusively expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells, whereas in heart isoform 1 is strongly expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells, isoform 2 is detected only on endothelial vein cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:9111516}.
