Function | Promotes attachment of chondrocytes, fibroblasts, and osteoblasts. This binding is mediated (at least for chondrocytes and fibroblasts) by the integrin alpha(2)beta(1). May play an important role in the regulation of chondrocyte growth and proliferation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000250}. |
Tissue Specificity | Present in chondrocytes at all ages. |
Top Pathways | Focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway |
