Emilin2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable extracellular matrix constituent conferring elasticity. Involved in positive regulation of blood coagulation. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human EMILIN2 (elastin microfibril interfacer 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Emilin2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
