MATN3 matrilin 3

Gene ID: 4148, updated on 12-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HOA; OS2; EDM5; DIPOA; OADIP; SEMDBCD

Summary

This gene encodes a member of von Willebrand factor A domain containing protein family. This family of proteins is thought to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in the extracellular matrices of various tissues. This protein contains two von Willebrand factor A domains; it is present in the cartilage extracellular matrix and has a role in the development and homeostasis of cartilage and bone. Mutations in this gene result in multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
