| Subcellular Location | Secreted; extracellular space; extracellular matrix |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the CCN family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in bone marrow and thymic cells. Also expressed one of two Wilms tumors tested. |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | Major connective tissue mitoattractant secreted by vascular endothelial cells. Promotes proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. Mediates heparin- and divalent cation-dependent cell adhesion in many cell types including fibroblasts; myofibroblasts; endothelial and epithelial cells. Enhances fibroblast growth factor-induced DNA synthesis. |
