Fibulin-2 (E279) polyclonal antibody

Fibulin-1 and Fibulin-2 associate with Fibronectin and other extracellular matrix proteins. In bone marrow, Fibulin-1 and Fibulin-2 bind to Fibronectin in the adherent layer. Fibulin-2 binds to the lectin domains of extracellular matrix proteins aggrecan, versican and brevican. Fibulin-2 is abundantly expressed in heart, placenta and ovarian tissue, where it localizes to basement membranes and connective tissue compartments. In mice, differential Fibulin-2 gene expression correlates with the early phase of diabetic kidneys and glomerulosclerosis. The gene encoding human Fibulin-2 maps
to chromosome 3p25.1.
