Gene: [11q12/LTBP3] latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 3;

FUN

LTBP-proteins are covalently bound to extracellular matrix and mediate the matrix binding of TGF-beta (GEM:19q131/TGFB1 and others)."

MOP

The structure of human LTBP3 resembles fibrillin (GEM:15q211/FBN1).

FAG

On other LTBP genes see in GEM:02^/LTBP1.
