关于 MATN4

功能概要

该基因编码包含 von Willebrand 因子 A 结构域的蛋白质家族的成员。该家族的蛋白质被认为参与了各种组织细胞外基质中丝状网络的形成。该家族成员被认为在颗粒状和格状 I 型角膜营养不良的角膜基质重组和再生中发挥作用。它还可能参与牙本质-牙髓复合体的伤口愈合。可变剪接导致多个转录本变体。[RefSeq 提供，2013 年 5 月]

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. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
