This gene encodes a large protein that contains multiple von Willebrand factor domains and forms a component of the basal lamina of epithelial cells. This protein may regulate epithelial cell-fibronectin interactions. Variation in this gene may be implica
Gene ontology (GO)Gene Ontology (GO) annotations describing the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components associated with a gene.
