Predicted to enable heparan sulfate binding activity and heparin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including collagen fibril organization; skeletal system development; and ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis. Located in extracellular matrix. Part of collagen trimer. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; limb; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study Stickler syndrome and osteoarthritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Marshall syndrome; Stickler syndrome 2; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness; and fibrochondrogenesis 1.
