Data show that MAGP-1, component of the extracellular matrix interact with fibrillin and impart unique biological properties that influence microfibril function. Mutations in MAGP-1 have been linked to thoracic aneurysms and metabolic diseases and mice lacking either one have defects in multiple organ systems, reflecting the widespread distribution of microfibrils in vertebrate tissues.

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.
