ADAMTS like 4

The ADAMTSL4 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is found throughout the body. The ADAMTSL4 protein is released from cells into the extracellular matrix, which is an intricate lattice of proteins and other molecules that forms in the spaces between cells. The ADAMTSL4 protein binds to other proteins within the extracellular matrix. One of these proteins is called fibrillin-1. Fibrillin-1 proteins bind to each other and to other proteins to form threadlike filaments called microfibrils. Research suggests that ADAMTSL4 binds to fibrillin-1 to promote microfibril assembly in many tissues. Within the eyes, microfibrils form small bundles called zonular fibers that hold the lenses of the eyes in their central position. The lens is a clear structure at the front of the eye that helps focus light.
