| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Laminins are glycoproteins that function in extracellular matrix architecture, cell adhesion, differentiation, and neurite outgrowth. Mutations in the gene LAMA2 (laminin-2) leading to either partial deficiency or complete absence of laminin α2 have been associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), characterized by severe, early-onset congenital muscular dystrophy to mild, later childhood-onset limb-girdle type muscular dystrophy, hypotonia with muscle weakness at early infancy, poor spontaneous movements with contractures of the large joints, and weak cry along with respiratory dysfunction. |

| General description: | Laminin, an extracellular protein, is a major component of the basement membrane. It is thought to mediate the attachment, migration, and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. It is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule. This gene encodes the alpha 2 chain, which constitutes one of the subunits of laminin 2 (merosin) and laminin 4 (s-merosin). Mutations in this gene have been identified as the cause of congenital merosin-deficient muscular dystrophy. Two transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.
