Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Involved in endochondral bone formation as negative regulator of bone mineralization. Stimulates the proliferation of endothelial cells and promotes angiogenesis. Inhibits MMP9 proteolytic activity. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11165938, ECO:0000269PubMed:11292659, ECO:0000269PubMed:16512877}.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.

Disease Associations

Lipoid proteinosis (LiP) [MIM:247100]: Rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by generalized thickening of skin, mucosae and certain viscera. Classical features include beaded eyelid papules and laryngeal infiltration leading to hoarseness. Histologically, there is widespread deposition of hyaline material and disruption/reduplication of basement membrane. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11929856, ECO:0000269PubMed:12603844}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in breast cancer tissues. Little or no expression observed in normal breast tissues. Expressed in skin; wide expression is observed throughout the dermis with minimal expression in the epidermis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11292659, ECO:0000269PubMed:12604605}.
