Summary
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Located in hemidesmosome. Part of hemidesmosome associated protein complex. Is expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; pharynx; touch receptor neurons; and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple epiphyseal dysplasia 5; osteoarthritis; and osteochondrodysplasia. Orthologous to human MATN2 (matrilin 2) and MATN3 (matrilin 3).
