Gene: NID2

Alternate names for this Gene: NID-2

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the nidogen family of basement membrane proteins. This protein is a cell-adhesion protein that binds collagens I and IV and laminin and may be involved in maintaining the structure of the basement membrane.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q22.1

Description of this Gene: nidogen 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
