Tissue Specificity | Higher levels in osteoarthritic articular cartilage, aorta, uterus. Moderate expression in small intestine, heart, liver, bladder, ovary, stomach, and in the adrenal, thyroid, and mammary glands. Low expression in trachea, bone marrow, and lung. Colocalizes with TGFB1 in chondrocytes within osteoarthritic (OA) lesions of articular cartilage. |
Post Translational Modifications | There is no serine/glycine dipeptide sequence expected for the attachment of O-linked glycosaminoglycans and this is probably not a proteoglycan. The O-linked polysaccharide on 54-Ser is probably the mucin type linked to GalNAc. The N-linked glycan at Asn-282 is composed of variable structures of GlcNAc, mannose, fucose, HexNAc and hexose. |
Function | Negatively regulates periodontal ligament (PDL) differentiation and mineralization to ensure that the PDL is not ossified and to maintain homeostasis of the tooth-supporting system. Inhibits BMP2-induced cytodifferentiation of PDL cells by preventing its binding to BMPR1B/BMP type-1B receptor, resulting in inhibition of BMP-dependent activation of SMAD proteins. Critical regulator of TGF-beta in articular cartilage and plays an essential role in cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Negatively regulates chondrogenesis in the articular cartilage by blocking the TGF-beta/receptor interaction on the cell surface and inhibiting the canonical TGF-beta/Smad signal. Binds calcium and plays a role in osteoblast-driven collagen biomineralization activity. |
