FREM2 Antibody

FREM2 is a member of the FRAS1-related extracellular matrix protein family and like FREM1, mutations in the FREM2 gene are associated with Fraser syndrome. FREM2 localizes to the basement membrane, forming a ternary complex that plays a role in epidermal-dermal interactions during morphogenetic processes and is thought to be required for maintaining the integrity of the skin epithelium and the differentiated state of renal epithelia. The FREM2 gene is one of several genes whose transcription is affecteded by TFAP2C, a transcription factor involved in mammary development, differentiation, and oncogenesis.
