Target Details for COMP

Target: COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP))

Alternative Name: COMP

Background:

Synonyms: Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, COMP, Thrombospondin-5, TSP5, COMP

Tissue Specificity: Abundantly expressed in the chondrocyte extracellular matrix, and is also found in bone, tendon, ligament and synovium and blood vessels. Increased amounts are produced during late stages of osteoarthritis in the area adjacent to the main defect.

Background: COMP is a pentameric extracellular matrix protein that catalyzes the assembly of collagens and promotes formation of well-defined fibrils. This gene is mapped to 19q13.32. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in energy homeostasis and is an important serum marker for myocardial infarction. The encoded protein reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens such as creatine phosphate. It acts as a homodimer in striated muscle as well as in other tissues, and as a heterodimer with a similar brain isozyme in heart. The encoded protein is a member of the ATP:guanido phosphotransferase protein family.

Molecular Weight: 83 kDa
