Ltbp4 - latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4 Gene

Also Known as 2310046A13Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 108075

Summary

Predicted to enable transforming growth factor beta binding activity. Involved in elastic fiber assembly. Acts upstream of or within hormone secretion and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in microfibril. Is expressed in aorta; blood vessel; ovary; and oviduct. Used to study cutis laxa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive cutis laxa type IC. Orthologous to human LTBP4 (latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4).
