{"symbol":"MFAP5","synonyms":["AAT9","MP25","MFAP-5","MAGP-2","MAGP2"],"name":"microfibrillar associated protein 5","description":"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.
