Gene: MATN3

Alternate names for this Gene: DIPOA|EDM5|HOA|OADIP|OS2|SEMDBCD

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p24.1

Description of this Gene: matrilin 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
