Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3950
Gene name Leukocyte cell derived chemotaxin 2
Gene symbol LECT2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
chm-IIchm2
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5q31.1
Summary This 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-indu
