FAMILY

CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	localized in the deeper intermediate zone of the articular cartilage extracellular matrix at maturity

basic FUNCTION	CILP and CILP2 may be important in cartilage structure and disease
	CILP and CILP2 can have additional roles in noncartilaginous tissue ECM structure and function
	ECM protein that may be components of such permanent cartilages, rather than the transient growth plate cartilage
	may contribute to the structural organization and matrix architecture within these connective tissues

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

may be part of collagen VI containing suprastructures in human articular cartilage

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

may be associated with collagen VI microfibrils and thus may mediate interactions between matrix components in the territorial and inter-territorial articular cartilage matrix

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Cilp2 gene expression is dysregulated during cartilage degeneration in a mouse model of osteoarthritis reduced severalfold compared with sham operated joints
