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
