Gene information for EFEMP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID30008
Official gene symbolEFEMP2
Full nameEGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 2
Aliases,FBLN4,MBP1,UPH1,
Gene summaryA large number of extracellular matrix proteins have been found to contain variations of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) domain and have been implicated in functions as diverse as blood coagulation, activation of complement and determination of cell fate during development. The protein encoded by this gene contains four EGF2 domains and six calcium-binding EGF2 domains. This gene is necessary for elastic fiber formation and connective tissue development. Defects in this gene are cause of an autosomal recessive cutis laxa syndrome. [provided by RefSeq]
