EMILIN2


Description

The EMILIN2 (elastin microfibril interfacer 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 18.

EMILIN2 likely plays a crucial role in attaching smooth muscle cells to elastic fibers within blood vessels. It is not only involved in the formation of these elastic fibers but also in the complex processes that govern the assembly of blood vessels. Additionally, EMILIN2 possesses the ability to bind cells.

EMILIN2 is also known as EMILIN-2, FOAP-10.
