Background: MFAP4

Microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is an extracellular glycoprotein found in elastic fibers that may support elastic fiber maintenance and assembly (1). It contains fibrinogen-like domains and an RGD sequence in the N-terminus that serves as the ligand motif for the cell receptor integrin (2). MFAP4 exists as a disulfide-linked dimer that is able to form higher oligomeric structures (3). Mature human FAP4 shares 95% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and bovine MFAP4. Binding analysis revealed that MFAP4 specifically binds tropoelastin and firillin-1 and -2, as well as the elastin cross-linking amino acid desmosine, and it co‑localizes with fibrillin-1 positive fibers in vivo (1). MFAP4 contributes to the development of elastic fiber and may play a potential role in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover during fibrogenesis (2, 4). Immunohistochemical studies showed that MFAP4 is highly abundant in hepatic stellate cells and cirrhotic ECM, but not in hepatic parenchyma or normal liver (4). MFAP4 interacts with different collectins in the lung and might fix them in the ECM during inflammation (5). Serum MFAP4 concentrations increased with progressive stages (fibrosis stage 0-4) of hepatic fibrosis in patients and has been proposed as a biomarker for hepatic fibrosis (6, 7).
