ncbi summary :
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.

uniprot summary :
LAMA2: Binding to cells via a high affinity receptor, laminin is thought to mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Defects in LAMA2 are the cause of merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy type 1A (MDC1A). MDC1A is characterized by difficulty walking, hypotonia, proximal weakness, hyporeflexia, and white matter hypodensity on MRI. Protein type: Secreted; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Extracellular matrix; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q22-q23. Cellular Component: extracellular matrix; laminin-1 complex; extracellular region; dendritic spine; basement membrane; sarcolemma. Molecular Function: structural molecule activity; receptor binding. Biological Process: regulation of cell adhesion; positive regulation of synaptic transmission, cholinergic; axon guidance; extracellular matrix organization and biogenesis; muscle development; regulation of embryonic development; cell adhesion; regulation of cell migration; myelination in the peripheral nervous system. Disease: Muscular Dystrophy, Congenital Merosin-deficient, 1a
