Post Translational Modifications | Heavy chains are linked to bikunin via chondroitin 4-sulfate esterified to the alpha-carboxyl of the C-terminal aspartate after propeptide cleavage. N- and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Phosphorylated by FAM20C in the extracellular medium. |
Function | May act as a carrier of hyaluronan in serum or as a binding protein between hyaluronan and other matrix protein, including those on cell surfaces in tissues to regulate the localization, synthesis and degradation of hyaluronan which are essential to cells undergoing biological processes. |
