LTBP3, Official Symbol LTBP3provided by HGNC Official Full Name latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 3provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:6716 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000168056 MIM:602090; AllianceGenome:HGNC:6716 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo 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] Annotation information Note: This gene (GeneID: 4054) was identified as LTBP2 in PMID: 7719025. The official symbol for this gene is now LTBP3. [27 Jan 2017] Expression Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 27.2), fat (RPKM 25.7) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
