MMRN2

This gene encodes a protein belonging to the member of elastin microfibril interface-located (EMILIN) protein family. This family member is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that can interfere with tumor angiogenesis and growth. It serves as a transforming growth factor beta antagonist and can interfere with the VEGF-A/VEGFR2 pathway. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 6.

MULTIMERIN 2

Inhibits endothelial cells motility and acts as a negative regulator of angiogenesis; it down-regulates KDR activation by binding VEGFA.
