Summary: Predicted to enable heparin binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including elastic fiber assembly; negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation; and vasculature development. Acts upstream of or within artery development. Located in basement membrane; elastic fiber; and microfibril. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; immune system; and respiratory system. Used to study aortic aneurysm and cutis laxa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aortic aneurysm; arterial tortuosity syndrome; autosomal recessive cutis laxa type IB; endometrial cancer; and osteosarcoma. Orthologous to human EFEMP2 (EGF containing fibulin extracellular matrix protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001157824.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) retains a segment in its 5' end which results in the use of an upstream start codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 2) has a longer N-terminus when it is compared to isoform 1.
