FMOD - fibromodulin Gene
Also Known as FM; SLRR2E
Species: Homo sapiens
About FMOD
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 254 orthologues and 10 paralogues. Broad expression in gall bladder (RPKM 78.8), fat (RPKM 77.4) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
Fibromodulin belongs to the family of small interstitial proteoglycans. The encoded protein possesses a central region containing leucine-rich repeats with 4 keratan sulfate chains, flanked by terminal domains containing disulphide bonds. Owing to the interaction with type I and type II Collagen fibrils and in vitro inhibition of fibrillogenesis, the encoded protein may play a role in the assembly of extracellular matrix. It may also regulate TGF-beta activities by sequestering TGF-beta into the extracellular matrix. Sequence variations in this gene may be associated with the pathogenesis of high myopia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
