Recombinant human MAGP-1/MFAP2 protein
Microfibrillar-associated protein 2, also known as MFAP2, is an O-glycosylated protein secreted to the extracellular space and the extracellular matrix. MFAP2 associates with biglycan and elastin in a ternary complex. It is shown to play a significant role in the support and distensibility of the juxtacanalicular region of these collector channels. It is also reported to inhibit LTB-1 binding to fibrillin-1, stimulate the phosphorylation of Smad2, and thereby mediate the subsequent extracellular deposition of latent TGFbeta. Recombinant human MFAP2, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli.
