GO Classification
Components
collagen-containing extracellular matrix / intracellular membrane-bounded organelle / plasma membrane
General 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
Specific Function
calcium ion binding
