Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Macromolecular component of the subendothelium. Major component of the Descemet's membrane (basement membrane) of corneal endothelial cells. Also component of the endothelia of blood vessels. Necessary for migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and thus, has a potential role in the maintenance of vessel wall integrity and structure, in particular in atherogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Localization Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity In the kidney, expressed in mesangial cells, glomerular endothelial cells, and tubular epithelial cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:19401424}.
