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).

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.
