Nidogen-2

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Nidogen-2, also known as osteonidogen, is a basal lamina protein of the nidogen family. It was the second nidogen to be described after nidogen-1 (entactin). Both play key roles during late embryonic development.[5] In humans it is encoded by the NID2 gene.[6][7]
