Description	cellular communication network factor 2
Gene Summary	Enables heparin binding activity and integrin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cartilage development; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and chondrocyte proliferation. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Li-Shao-Li type. Orthologous to human CCN2 (cellular communication network factor 2).
