Introduction
COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein) is a noncollagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) protein. It consists of five identical glycoprotein subunits, each with EGF-like and calcium-binding (thrombospondin-like) domains. Oligomerization results from formation of a five-stranded coiled coil and disulfides. Binding to other ECM proteins such as collagen appears to depend on divalent cations. Contraction or expansion of a 5 aa aspartate repeat and other mutations can cause pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED).
Alternative Names
COMP, TSP5, EDM1, EPD1, MED, PSACH, THBS5
