| Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in resting chondrocytes. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Proteolytically cleaved by a furin-like convertase to generate a persistent C-terminal fragment found in almost the entire cartilage matrix, and affecting osteoblast differentiation. Sulfated on tyrosine residues. |
| Function | May be involved in the negative control of osteogenic differentiation of osteochondrogenic precursor cells in peripheral zones of fetal cartilage and at the cartilage-bone interface. |
