HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	fibrillar collagen family
	nicastrin family

CATEGORY

regulatory , structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum
text	colocalizes with TMEM147 and NOMO in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

basic FUNCTION	controlling the assembly and stability of the Nicalin-NOMO complex
	forming the fibrils of tendon, ligaments and bones (in bones the fibrils are mineralized with calcium hydroxyapatite)
	not only controls NOMO1, NOMO2, NOMO3, but also TMEM147 expression levels, corroborating the idea that it represents the rate-limiting factor

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	trimers of one alpha 2(I) and two alpha 1(I) chains
	forms a complex with NOMO (complex antagonizing NODAL signaling during mesendodermal patterning)
	part of Nicalin-NOMO-TMEM147 complex
