Rattus norvegicus Enables fibronectin binding activity and growth factor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of G0 to G1 transition; positive regulation of cardiac muscle contraction; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Located in cell cortex; extracellular space; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study endomyocardial fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; restrictive cardiomyopathy (multiple); and ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Li-Shao-Li type. Orthologous to human CCN2 (cellular communication network factor 2); PARTICIPATES IN transforming growth factor-beta Smad dependent signaling pathway; INTERACTS WITH (R)-carnitine; (S)-nicotine; 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane.
