description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable growth factor activity; heparin binding activity; and integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of cell growth. Located in extracellular space; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut; long bone epiphyseal plate; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human CCN5 (cellular communication network factor 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viabe and overtly normal with no adult bone phenotype.
