MMRN2 multimerin 2

Gene ID: 79812, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EMILIN3; EMILIN-3; ENDOGLYX-1

Summary

This gene encodes a protein belonging to the member of elastin microfibril interface-located (EMILIN) protein family. This family member is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that can interfere with tumor angiogenesis and growth. It serves as a transforming growth factor beta antagonist and can interfere with the VEGF-A/VEGFR2 pathway. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
