Function
Plays an important role in integrin-mediated signaling and functions both in regulating cell migration and immune responses. Promotes formation of focal adhesion complexes, activation of the protein kinase PTK2/FAK1 and subsequent phosphorylation of MAPK1 and MAPK3. Promotes production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by monocytes and macrophages.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Detected in skin keratinocytes and on endothelial cells from skin blood vessels (at protein level). Expressed in fibroblasts, keratinocytes, melanocytes, placenta, testis, ovary, spleen, brain, spinal cord, lung, heart, adrenal gland, lymph nodes, thymus, intestine and kidney
Disease Association: Cholestasis, progressive familial intrahepatic, 11 (PFIC11) : An autosomal recessive form of progressive cholestasis, a disorder characterized by early onset of cholestasis that progresses to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
