PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a potential signal peptide
	eleven leucine-rich repeats flanked by cysteine-rich regions
	four cysteine residues within its C terminal disulfide-bonded domain
	isolated C-terminal heparin-binding domain (HBD)4 of 13 amino acids was shown to stimulate bound chondrocytes to spread and to prominently increase attachment to integrins with the formation of focal adhesion complexes, and contributes to heparin binding

conjugated

GlycoP

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family
	leucine-rich repeat proteins family

CATEGORY

adhesion

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	extracellular matrix

basic FUNCTION	may be playing an mportant role in the regulation of chondrocyte growth and proliferation
	leucine-rich repeat protein known to mediate adhesion of isolated cells via the integrin ITGA2/ITGB1 and to interact with collagen
	chondroadherin interaction with cells may be central for maintaining the adult chondrocyte phenotype and cartilage homeostasis

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

both chondroadherin and collagen interact with chondrocytes, partly via the same receptor, but give rise to different cellular responses
