Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein that
is critical for collagen assembly and ECM stability. Mutations of COMP cause endoplasmic …

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a large pentameric glycoprotein that interacts
with multiple extracellular matrix proteins in cartilage and other tissues. While, COMP is …

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein is a non-collagenous extracellular matrix protein
expressed primarily in cartilage, ligament, and tendon. Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein …

In an effort to define the biological functions of COMP, a functional genetic screen was
performed. This led to the identification of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) as a novel …

Purpose The main function of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is to maintain the
synthesis and stability of the extracellular matrix by interacting with collagen. At present …

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is a secreted glycoprotein found in the
extracellular matrices of skeletal tissues. Mutations associated with two human skeletal …

As a member of the thrombospondin gene family, cartilage oligomeric protein (COMP) is
found mainly in the extracellular matrix often associated with cartilage tissue. COMP exhibits …

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) was recently implicated in the progression of
breast cancer. Immunostaining of 342 prostate cancer specimens in tissue microarrays …

Objective: Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) mutations have been identified as
responsible for two arthritic disorders, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) and …

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is an extracellular matrix protein expressed in
cartilage, ligament, and tendon. The importance of COMP in the matrix of these cells is …
