MGP - matrix Gla protein Gene
Also Known as NTI; GIG36; MGLAP
Species: Homo sapiens
About MGP
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 175 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in gall bladder (RPKM 391.2), adrenal (RPKM 338.4) and 18 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the osteocalcin/matrix Gla family of proteins. The encoded vitamin K-dependent protein is secreted by chondrocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, and functions as a physiological inhibitor of ectopic tissue calcification. Carboxylation status of the encoded protein is associated with calcification of the vasculature in human patients with Cardiovascular Disease and calcification of the synovial membranes in osteoarthritis patients. Mutations in this gene cause Keutel syndrome in human patients, which is characterized by abnormal cartilage calcification, peripheral pulmonary stenosis and facial hypoplasia.
