General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells. Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis. Ref.14 Ref.15 |
| Subunit structure | Monomer. |
| Subcellular location | Secreted › extracellular space › extracellular matrix By similarity. Secreted By similarity. |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in bone marrow and thymic cells. Also expressed one of two Wilms tumors tested. Ref.13 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the CCN family. Contains 1 CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) domain. Contains 1 IGFBP N-terminal domain. Contains 1 TSP type-1 domain. Contains 1 VWFC domain. |
