Background
This gene encodes a cysteine-rich acidic matrix-associated protein. The encoded protein is required for the collagen in bone to become calcified but is also involved in extracellular matrix synthesis and promotion of changes to cell shape. The gene product has been associated with tumor suppression but has also been correlated with metastasis based on changes to cell shape which can promote tumor cell invasion. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2015],
Function
developmental stage:Expressed at high levels in tissues undergoing morphogenesis, remodeling and wound repair.,function:Appears to regulate cell growth through interactions with the extracellular matrix and cytokines. Binds calcium and copper, several types of collagen, albumin, thrombospondin, PDGF and cell membranes. There are two calcium binding sites; an acidic domain that binds 5 to 8 Ca(2+) with a low affinity and an EF-hand loop that binds a Ca(2+) ion with a high affinity.,online information:Osteonectin entry,similarity:Belongs to the SPARC family.,similarity:Contains 1 EF-hand domain.,similarity:Contains 1 follistatin-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Kazal-like domain.,subcellular location:In or around the basement membrane.,
