MCFD2
Encyclopedia
Multiple coagulation factor deficiency protein 2 is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the MCFD2 gene
. Mutations in MCFD2 cause the combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII (F5F8D), a recessive bleeding disorder. MCFD2 and ERGIC-53 (or LMAN1) form a protein complex and serve as a cargo receptor to transport FV and FVIII from the ER to the Golgi body. Mutations in LMAN1
gene (encoding ERGIC-53 or LMAN1) also cause F5F8D.
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...
