Cilp - cartilage intermediate layer protein

Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus; negative regulation of gene expression; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoarthritis. Orthologous to human CILP (cartilage intermediate layer protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
