Gene:
microfibrillar-associated protein 2
Gene ID:
199195
Symbol:
MFAP2
Species:
1000
Description:
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. This gene encodes two transcripts with two alternatively spliced 5' untranslated exons. These two transcripts contain the same 8 coding exons, and therefore, encode the same protein.
