Gene: FERMT3
Alternate names for this Gene: KIND3|MIG-2|MIG2B|UNC112C|URP2|URP2SF
Gene Summary: Kindlins are a small family of proteins that mediate protein-protein interactions involved in integrin activation and thereby have a role in cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, and proliferation. The protein encoded by this gene has a key role in the regulation of hemostasis and thrombosis. This protein may also help maintain the membrane skeleton of erythrocytes. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal recessive leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome-III (LAD-III). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q13.1
Description of this Gene: fermitin family member 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
