    basic FUNCTION
  • with SMOC2 are matricellular proteins thought to influence growth factor signaling, migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis
  • may mediate intercellular signaling and cell type-specific differentiation during gonad and reproductive tract development
  • regulator of osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells
  • essential player in both ocular and limb development and give further support to the crucial roles of BMP signaling in these systems
