{"symbol":"VWA2","synonyms":["AMACO","CCSP-2","NET42"],"name":"von Willebrand factor A domain containing 2","description":"This gene encodes a member of the von Willebrand factor A-like domain protein superfamily. The encoded protein is localized to the extracellular matrix and may serve as a structural component in basement membranes or in anchoring structures on scaffolds of collagen VII or fibrillin. This gene has been linked to type 1A diabetes and is a candidate serological marker for colon cancer.
