High impact information on Ltbp2

 

Biological context of Ltbp2

  • The 2 putative human homologues of mouse genes Ltbp2 and Spa-1 may be candidate tumor suppressor genes, but they map telomeric to D11S449 [2].
  • The Ltbp-1 gene contains 34 exons and shows a similar organization to the LTBP-2 gene, suggesting that these genes originated from a common ancestral gene [3].
 

Anatomical context of Ltbp2

 

Other interactions of Ltbp2

  • We report that the second and third TGF-bp repeats of LTBP-3 covalently bind the latent complex, and we show a similar capability for the homologous TGF-bp repeats of mouse LTBP-2 [5].
  • We studied the expression of LTBP-2 in the developing mouse and rat by in situ hybridization, using tropoelastin expression as a marker of tissues participating in elastic fiber formation [1].
