Symbol: mys Name: myospheroid Entrez gene ID: 44885 Ensembl gene ID: FBgn0004657 Species: Fly (Taxid: 7227) Functional description: Integrin alpha-PS1/beta-PS is a receptor for laminin. Integrin alpha-PS2/beta-PS is a receptor for Tig (Tiggrin). Also binds to wb (wing blister) and Ten-m (Tenascin major). Required for many embryonic (dorsal closure and somatic muscle attachments) and post-embryonic developmental processes (attachment between cell layers of imaginal disks, organization of ommatidial arrays and flight muscle development). Involved in the function and/or development of the olfactory system. [UniProt] Observation: mys mutants exhibit ameliorated age-related declines in locomotor activity and an increase in mean lifespan of 20% [14570233].
