<unk>  (microfibril-associated glycoprotein 4) is an extracellular matrix protein encoded by the<unk>  gene. It is part of the<unk> family of proteoglycans, which are involved in cell adhesion, intercellular interactions and the assembly and/or maintenance of elastic fibres.<unk>  is known to co-localise at sites rich in elastic fibres and is thought to interact with several proteins including FBN1, FBN2, tropoelastin and desmosine. It has a relatively non-specific tissue expression pattern, with higher levels observed in organs such as the lungs and vasculature. __TOC__
