Hapln1 - hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1

Predicted to enable hyaluronic acid binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring compression resistance. Predicted to be involved in central nervous system development and skeletal system development. Located in extracellular matrix and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; heart; lower leg; and submandibular gland. Used to study spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita. Orthologous to human HAPLN1 (hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
