MMRN1

MMRN1, also known as Multimerin 1, is a protein coding gene that encodes a secreted glycoprotein. It is a member of the elastin microfibrillar interface protein (EMILIN)/multimerin family, primarily found in platelets and endothelial cells. MMRN1 plays a role in cellular adhesion via integrin receptors, potentially mediating platelet aggregation and clot formation. It is associated with various signaling pathways, including those related to hemostasis and coagulation. MMRN1 expression has been linked to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), suggesting its involvement in disease progression. Research into MMRN1 as a therapeutic target has shown potential, with ongoing drug development efforts exploring its role in various diseases.
