Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix
Tissue Specificity: Detected in placenta (at protein level). Found in several connective tissues, especially in articular cartilages
Disease Association: Meester-Loeys syndrome (MRLS) : An X-linked, thoracic aortic aneurysm syndrome characterized by early-onset, severe aortic aneurysm and dissection. Other recurrent findings include hypertelorism, pectus deformity, joint hypermobility, contractures, and mild skeletal dysplasia.
