The encoded vitamin K-dependent protein is secreted by chondrocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, and functions as a physiological inhibitor of ectopic tissue calcification. Carboxylation status of the encoded protein is associated with calcification of the vasculature in human patients with cardiovascular disease and calcification of the synovial membranes in osteoarthritis patients. Mutations in this gene cause Keutel syndrome in human patients, which is characterized by abnormal cartilage calcification, peripheral pulmonary stenosis and facial hypoplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: Associates with the organic matrix of bone and cartilage. Thought to act as an inhibitor of bone formation. |Gla| |structural constituent of bone| |cartilage condensation| |cell aggregation| |regulation of bone mineralization| |regulation of biomineralization| |regulation of biomineral tissue development| |extracellular matrix structural constituent| |cartilage development| |regulation of ossification| |connective tissue development| |extracellular matrix| |skeletal system morphogenesis| |ossification| |collagen-containing extracellular matrix| |skeletal system development| |calcium ion binding| |animal organ morphogenesis| |tissue development| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
