The Fraser Complex Proteins (Frem1, Frem2, and Fras1) Can Form Anchoring Cords in the Absence of AMACO at the Dermal-Epidermal Junction of Mouse Skin.
Title: The Fraser Complex Proteins (Frem1, Frem2, and Fras1) Can Form Anchoring Cords in the Absence of AMACO at the Dermal-Epidermal Junction of Mouse Skin.
Our data suggest that AMACO represents a member of the Fraser complex.
Title: AMACO is a component of the basement membrane-associated Fraser complex.
Murine AMACO localizes subjacent to the basement membrane in kidney and skin. AMACO supports beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion of a keratinocyte-like cell line, HaCaT, and a fibroblast cell line, Wi26, in an RGD-dependent manner.
Title: Mouse AMACO, a kidney and skin basement membrane associated molecule that mediates RGD-dependent cell attachment.
AMACO is a new member of the von Willebrand factor A-like domain protein superfamily with a regulated expression in the kidney

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.
