LAD1
Description
The LAD1 (ladinin 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
Ladinin-1 is a protein encoded by the LAD1 gene in humans. It may act as an anchoring filament, contributing to the stability of the basement membrane. This protein may play a role in maintaining the connection between epithelial layers and the underlying mesenchyme.
LAD1 encodes a protein that functions as an anchoring filament, a structural component of the basement membrane zone.
LAD1 is also known as LadA.
