Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle cell cellular homeostasis; positive regulation of cellular component organization; and regulation of locomotion. Located in several cellular components, including contractile fiber; focal adhesion; and lateral plasma membrane. Part of integrin complex. Expressed in several structures, including GABAergic neurons; egg-laying apparatus; enteric muscle; gonad; and vulval precursor cell. Used to study cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); blood platelet disease (multiple); and lung carcinoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ITGB1 (integrin subunit beta 1).
