Microfibril-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) was initially identified as a gene commonly deleted in the contiguous Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) gene. MFAP4 was identified as growth factor to support expansion of hematopoietic stem cells in culture. It is involved in calcium-dependent cell adhesion and intercellular interactions.
