Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including amyloid-beta binding activity; cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of blood vessel remodeling; negative regulation of extracellular matrix disassembly; and negative regulation of metabolic process. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; heart; reproductive system; and visual system.
