LTBP3 latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 3

Gene ID: 4054, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DASS; LTBP2; LTBP-3; STHAG6; pp6425; GPHYSD3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene forms a complex with transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) proteins and may be involved in their subcellular localization. Activation of this complex requires removal of the encoded binding protein. This protein also may play a structural role in the extracellular matrix. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
