{"symbol":"LTBP3","synonyms":["GPHYSD3","LTBP-3","STHAG6","DASS","LTBP2","PP6425"],"name":"latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 3","description":"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]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":4054,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/4054","proteins":[{"symbol":"LTBP3_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/LTBP3_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Latent transforming growth factor beta binding proteins (LTBP)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Latent+transforming+growth+factor+beta+binding+proteins+%28LTBP%29"}]}
