Prg4 - proteoglycan 4

Predicted to enable polysaccharide binding activity and scavenger receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in endocytosis and immune response. Predicted to act upstream of or within hematopoietic stem cell proliferation; negative regulation of interleukin-6 production; and regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome and pericarditis. Orthologous to human PRG4 (proteoglycan 4).
