SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,intermed filament
text	extracellular elastin-associated microfibrils

basic FUNCTION	extracellular matrix structural constituent
	exhibits a restricted tissue and developmental pattern of distribution,and itmay have a specialized role than in microfibril biology
	protein component of fibrillin-containing microfibrils where it partners with MFAP2 and other microfibril-associated proteins to define microfibril function
	plays an important role in the physiology of the ECM through interactions with different microfibrillar components such as fibrillin-1, fibrillin-2, fibulin-1, and tropoelastine
	through alpha(V)beta(3) integrin-mediated signaling, MFAP5 promotes tumor and endothelial cell survival and endothelial cell motility
	it is possible that MFAP5 is related to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling during development of obesity
	is a secreted protein associated with multiple cellular activities including the organization of elastic fibers in the extracellular matrix (ECM), angiogenesis, as well as regulating Notch and integrin signaling
	has functional roles in hematopoiesis and in vessel wall maintenance
	MFAP2 and MFAP5 have discrete functions in hematopoiesis
	has unique, MFAP2-independent functions in hematopoiesis and MFAPs have redundant functions in large vessels
	unlike MFAP2, MFAP5 has little or no role in normal bone homeostasis
	plays a role in the biology of the hematopoietic and vascular systems, suggesting that MFAP5 is capable of regulating growth factor bioavailability

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	forms intermolecular disulfide bonds either with other MAGP2 molecules or with other components of the microfibrils
	component of microfibrils of the extracellular matrix

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding distinct regions of FBN1
	covalently associated with fibrillin-containing microfibrils
	MFAP2 and MFAP5 both have the ability to bind NOTCH1, JAG1, JAG2, and Delta1
	binds active TGFB1, TGFB2, and BMP2
