Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable microfibril binding activity; molecular adaptor activity; and transforming growth factor beta binding activity. Acts upstream of or within aorta development; coronary vasculature development; and ventricular septum development. Located in microfibril. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; forebrain; genitourinary system; heart; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cutis laxa. Orthologous to human LTBP1 (latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 1).
