Gene: VWA2

Alternate names for this Gene: AMACO|CCSP-2|CCSP2|NET42

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10q25.3

Description of this Gene: von Willebrand factor A domain containing 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
