function:Binds to heparin. Induces cell attachment and spreading and plays a role in cell adhesion. May play a role in extracellular matrix mineralization.,PTM:Gamma-carboxyglutamate residues are formed by vitamin K dependent carboxylation. These residues are essential for the binding of calcium.,similarity:Contains 1 EMI domain.,similarity:Contains 4 FAS1 domains.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed with highest levels in aorta, stomach, lower gastrointestinal tract, placenta, uterus and breast. Up-regulated in epithelial ovarian tumors. Not expressed in normal ovaries. Also highly expressed at the tumor periphery of lung carcinoma tissue but not within the tumor. Overexpressed in breast cancers.,
Golgi apparatus . Secreted . Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix . Colocalizes with BMP1 in the Golgi. .
