MeSH definition : A small leucine-rich proteoglycan that contains 4 KERATAN SULFATE chains within the
leucine repeat region. It interacts with COLLAGEN TYPE I and COLLAGEN TYPE II fibrils
and may function to control the rate of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX assembly. It also sequesters
TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA in the extracellular matrix.;
