FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

DNA

TYPE	anonymous DNA segment
STRUCTURE	82.88 kb     5 Exon(s)

regulatory sequence	Binding site   enhancer
text structure	two cis-acting enhancer elements resided in the 5'-untranslated region: one contained a heptameric SOX binding sequence and showed SOX9-dependent enhancer activity in several cell lines; the other showed cell type-specific SOX9-independent enhancer activity

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	enhancer elements may mediate differential expression during chondrocyte differentiation and maturation

basic FUNCTION	stabilization of the aggregates of aggrecan and hyaluroman with hyaluronic acid in the extracellular cartilage matrix
	playing a role in the organization of extracellular matrix in a number of tissues, possibly interacting with other proteoglycans, such as versican, brevican, and neurocan
	stabilizes the interaction between hyaluronan (HA) and versican, two extracellular matrix components essential for cardiac development (Wirrig 2007)
	may play an important role in heart development (Wirrig 2007)

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Crtl1-deficient mouse revealed a spectrum of cardiac malformations, including AV septal and myocardial defects, while expression studies showed a significant reduction in versican levels (Wirrig 2007)
