MFAP2

Also known as MAGP, MAGP-1, MAGP1, microfibrillar associated protein 2, microfibril associated protein 2

Microfibrillar-associated protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MFAP2 gene.

Gene data

MFAP2

Name: microfibril associated protein 2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: MAGP, MAGP-1, MAGP1

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. Four transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008].

Microfibrillar-associated protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MFAP2 gene.

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 eight coding exons, and therefore, encode the same protein.
