Gene: MATN4

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of von Willebrand factor A domain-containing protein family. The proteins of this family are thought to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in the extracellular matrices of various tissues. This family member is thought to be play a role in reorganizing and regenerating the corneal matrix in granular and lattice type I dystrophies. It may also be involved in wound healing in the dentin-pulp complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q13.12

Description of this Gene: matrilin 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
