Nidogen-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NID2 gene.Basement membranes which are composed of type IV collagens (see MIM 120130) laminins (see LAMC1; MIM 150290) perlecan (HSPG2; MIM 142461) and nidogen (see NID1; MIM 131390) are thin pericellular protein matrices that control a large number of cellular activities including adhesion migration differentiation gene expression and apoptosis.[supplied by OMIM]
