products description :
ECM1 (extracellular matrix protein 1), also known as secretory component p85, is a secreted glycoprotein that is essential for the proper structure and function of the skin. It is widely expressed and localizes to the extracellular matrix. ECM1 binds to a variety of extracellular matrix components, including Perlecan, Fibulin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and participates in the structural organization of the dermis. In addition, ECM1 enhances the association of Collagen Type IV with Laminin 332 suggesting that it is a key player in interstitial dermis and the dermal-epidermal junction. Mutations in the gene encoding ECM1 result in the autosomal recessive disorder lipoid proteinosis (LiP). LiP is characterized by hyalinization of the dermis and reduplication of the basement membrane of the skin. LiP patients exhibit thickening of the skin and mucosae. Four splice variants (known as ECM1a-ECM1d) exist for ECM1.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a soluble protein that is involved in endochondral bone formation, angiogenesis, and tumor biology. It also interacts with a variety of extracellular and structural proteins, contributing to the maintenance of skin integrity and homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with lipoid proteinosis disorder (also known as hyalinosis cutis et mucosae or Urbach-Wiethe disease) that is characterized by generalized thickening of skin, mucosae and certain viscera. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
uniprot summary :
ECM1: Involved in endochondral bone formation as negative regulator of bone mineralization. Stimulates the proliferation of endothelial cells and promotes angiogenesis. Inhibits MMP9 proteolytic activity. Defects in ECM1 are the cause of lipoid proteinosis (LiP); also known as lipoid proteinosis of Urbach and Wiethe or hyalinosis cutis et mucosae. LiP is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by generalized thickening of skin, mucosae and certain viscera. Classical features include beaded eyelid papules and laryngeal infiltration leading to hoarseness. Histologically, there is widespread deposition of hyaline material and disruption/reduplication of basement membrane. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q21. Cellular Component: extracellular matrix; proteinaceous extracellular matrix; extracellular space. Molecular Function: protein C-terminus binding; signal transducer activity; protein binding; enzyme binding; protease binding; interleukin-2 receptor binding; laminin binding. Biological Process: ossification; positive regulation of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB cascade; negative regulation of peptidase activity; signal transduction; regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; negative regulation of bone mineralization; positive regulation of angiogenesis; biomineral formation; negative regulation of cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; angiogenesis; regulation of T-helper 2 type immune response; inflammatory response.
