Tissue Specificity | Preferentially expressed in periosteum and periodontal ligament. Also expressed in the developing and adult heart. |
Post Translational Modifications | Gamma-carboxylation is controversial. Gamma-carboxyglutamated.gamma-carboxyglutamate residues are formed by vitamin K dependent carboxylation.these residues may be required for binding to calcium. According to a more recent report in human, does not contain vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxyglutamate residues. |
Function | Induces cell attachment and spreading and plays a role in cell adhesion. Enhances incorporation of BMP1 in the fibronectin matrix of connective tissues, and subsequent proteolytic activation of lysyl oxidase LOX. |
