Official gene symbol | | EFEMP2 |
Full name | | EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 2 |
Aliases | | ,FBLN4,MBP1,UPH1, |
Gene summary | | A 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] |
