Abstract
⺠First analysis of Hmcn2 function in vertebrates. ⺠Hmcn2 acts in partial functional redundancy with Fibulin 1. ⺠Hmcn2/Fbln1 from internal sources regulate epidermal-dermal junction formation. ⺠Hmcn2/Fbln1-dependent ECM remodeling is required for mesenchymal cell migration. ⺠Tight interaction between Hmcn2 and Fbln1 is evolutionary highly conserved.
