Gene information for LECT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3950
Official gene symbolLECT2
Full nameleukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2
Aliases,MGC126628,chm-II,chm2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a secreted, 16 kDa protein that acts as a chemotactic factor to neutrophils and stimulates the growth of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. This protein has high sequence similarity to the chondromodulin repeat regions of the chicken myb-induced myeloid 1 protein. A polymorphism in this gene may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
