Source: NCBI Gene (ID 22795)
Symbol: NID2
Full name: nidogen 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: NID-2
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the nidogen family of basement membrane proteins. This protein is a cell-adhesion protein that binds collagens I and IV and laminin and may be involved in maintaining the structure of the basement membrane.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
