Function | Appears to be required for normal postnatal skeletal growth and cartilage homeostasis. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted {ECO:0000305}. |
Tissue Specificity | Predominant expression in adult kidney and testis and fetal kidney. Weaker expression found in placenta, ovary, prostate and small intestine. Also expressed in skeletally- derived cells such as synoviocytes and articular cartilage chondrocytes. |
