Symbol: Ltbp2
Full name: latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Summary: Predicted to enable microfibril binding activity. Acts upstream of or within supramolecular fiber organization. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; connective tissue; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Orthologous to human LTBP2 (latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 2).
