Microfibril Associated Protein 5; Microfibril-Associated Glycoprotein-2; Microfibrillar Associated Protein 5; MAGP-2; MFAP-5; MAGP2

This gene encodes a 25-kD microfibril-associated glycoprotein which is a component of microfibrils of the extracellular matrix. The encoded protein promotes attachment of cells to microfibrils via alpha-V-beta-3 integrin. Deficiency of this gene in mice results in neutropenia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
