    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a significant role in the process of osteogenesis and in skeletal development
  • might play important roles in carcinogenesis of esophageal cancer
  • may potentially participate in the modulation in the extracellular space of the availability and distribution of other secreted factors known to be regulated by heparan sulfate proteoglycans
  • EMILIN3 modulates the availability of HH ligands by interacting with the permissive factor SCUBE2 in the notochord sheath
  • EMILIN1, EMILIN2, and EMILIN3 are microfibril-associated glycoproteins known to modulate cell behaviour, growth factor activity, and ECM assembly
  • role of EMILINs in dentinogenesis, pulp biology, and inflammation
