| Function |
May interact with hyaluronan which may serve to form a basic macromolecular scaffold comprising the insoluble interphotoreceptor matrix. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9813076}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Secreted {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Abundantly expressed in retina where it is specifically expressed by cone and rod photoreceptor cells. Localizes to cone and rod photoreceptor cells surrounding the interphotoreceptor matrix of the retina. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10601738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9719680, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9813076}.
