PROTEIN
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

    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

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