MFAP2 - microfibril associated protein 2 Gene
Also Known as MAGP; MAGP1; MAGP-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About MFAP2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 173 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in endometrium (RPKM 22.6), gall bladder (RPKM 22.5) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
Microfibrillar-associated protein 2 is a major antigen of elastin-associated microfibrils and a candidate for involvement in the etiology of inherited connective tissue diseases. Four transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
