Den FREM2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is part of a group of proteins called the FRAS/FREM complex; in addition to being part of the complex, FREM2 regulates the complex's formation. The FRAS/FREM complex is found in basement membranes, which are thin, sheet-like structures that separate and support cells in many tissues. The complex is particularly important during development before birth. One of its roles is to anchor the top layer of skin by connecting the basement membrane of the top layer to the layer of skin below. The FRAS/FREM complex is also involved in the proper development of certain other organs and tissues, including the kidneys, although the mechanism is unclear.

Polymyalgia reumatika
Polymyalgia rheumatica causes pain, stiffness and tenderness in large muscles, typically around the shoulders, upper arms and hips. The cause is not known. You need to take a low dose of steroid each day to keep symptoms away. Some people with polymyalgia rheumatica develop a related condition called giant cell arteritis which can be more serious..

Patient information leaflet
Kan jag ta kalcium och esomeprazol tillsammans?
Taking esomeprazole for a long time may reduce how much calcium your body absorbs from your diet or from certain supplements. This can lead to weaker bones and an increased risk of fractures, particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine, if used at high doses for over a year. Why this happens Esomeprazole reduces the amount of acid in your stomach..

Makula degeneration
What is macular degeneration. Macular degeneration (also known as age-related macular degeneration) occurs when cells in the macula - the central area of the retina - degenerate. The r etina is a light sensitive layer that lines the interior of the eye. It is composed of light sensitive cells known as rods and cones. See Anatomy of the Eye for.
