Protein Function
Major component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage and may play a role in the formation of extracellular filamentous networks.
Background
Matrilin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MATN3 gene. This gene is mapped to 12 A1.1; 12 3.96 cM. This gene encodes a member of von Willebrand factor A domain containing protein family. This family of proteins is thought to be involved in the formation of filamentous networks in the extracellular matrices of various tissues. This protein contains two von Willebrand factor A domains; it is present in the cartilage extracellular matrix and has a role in the development and homeostasis of cartilage and bone. Mutations in this gene result in multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.
