MFAP2
Introduction
Microfibrillar-associated protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MFAP2 gene.[1][2]
Microfibrillar-associated protein 2 is a major antigen of elastin-associated microfibrils and a candidate for involvement in the etiology of inherited connective tissue diseases. This gene encodes two transcripts with two alternatively spliced 5′ untranslated exons. These two transcripts contain the same 8 coding exons, and therefore, encode the same protein.[2]
