unc-112 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables integrin binding activity; protein self-association; and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle cell cellular homeostasis; positive regulation of supramolecular fiber organization; and regulation of engulfment of apoptotic cell. Located in cell-substrate junction; contractile fiber; and plasma membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; non-striated muscle; and spermatheca. Used to study Kindler syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kindler syndrome; leukocyte adhesion deficiency (multiple); and telangiectasis. Is an ortholog of human FERMT1 (FERM domain containing kindlin 1) and FERMT2 (FERM domain containing kindlin 2).
