ADAMTSL2 : ADAMTS like 2

The Mysterious ADAMTSL2: Unraveling Its Hidden Role

Description

The ADAMTSL2 gene encodes a protein of unknown function. Found in the extracellular matrix (the network of molecules between cells), this protein shows activity across various tissues.

Associated Diseases

While its exact role remains elusive, studies suggest that ADAMTSL2 may be involved in diseases related to the extracellular matrix, including:

• Osteoarthritis
• Cartilage defects
• Tendon disorders
