    Summary
    Enables fibrinogen binding activity and fibronectin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within platelet formation. Located in microfibril. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and lung. Orthologous to human MFAP2 (microfibril associated protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    4. Data implicate systemic metabolic dysfunction in the development of bone fragility in germline Mfap2(-/-) mice. Also, MAGP1 protein was detected in the Mfap2(Prx-/-) hematopoietic bone marrow, despite of its absence in osseous bone matrix and its transcript at both sites. This suggests MAGP1 from a secondary site may accumulate in the bone marrow, but not into the bone matrix, during times of regional MAGP1 depletion.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
