| Tissue Specificity | Detected in placenta (at protein level). Detected in cerebrospinal fluid, fibroblasts and urine (at protein level). Expressed in the retina (at protein level). Cerebral white matter and plasma. Isoform V0: Expressed in normal brain, gliomas, medulloblastomas, schwannomas, neurofibromas, and meningiomas. Isoform V1: Expressed in normal brain, gliomas, medulloblastomas, schwannomas, neurofibromas, and meningiomas. Isoform V2: Restricted to normal brain and gliomas. Isoform V3: Found in all these tissues except medulloblastomas. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated by FAM20C in the extracellular medium. Proteolytically cleaved by ADAMTS5 and ADAMTS15 in the pericellular matrix surrounding myoblasts, facilitating myoblast contact and fusion which is required for skeletal muscle development and regeneration. |
| Function | May play a role in intercellular signaling and in connecting cells with the extracellular matrix. May take part in the regulation of cell motility, growth and differentiation. Binds hyaluronic acid. |
