Extracellular matrix protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ECM1 gene.[3][4][5]

This gene encodes an extracellular protein containing motifs with a cysteine pattern characteristic of the cysteine pattern of the ligand-binding "double-loop" domains of the albumin protein family. This gene maps outside the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC), a cluster of three gene families involved in epidermal differentiation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.[5]

Diseases

ECM1 is implicated in breast cancer, thyroid cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and other cancers, and also in lipoid proteinosis and ulcerative colitis[6] (see the Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology,[7]).
