Protein function: Major component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage and may play a role in the formation of extracellular filamentous networks. [The UniProt Consortium]

Primers are provided as a 40 µl solution containing both primers at a final concentration of 50 µM in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1 mM EDTA. Dilute with water as needed prior to use. This amount is sufficient for 1000 x 20µl PCR reactions assuming a final primer concentration of 0.1 µM. Add cDNA template....

Matrilin-3 is a 50-60 kD extracellular matrix protein that belongs to the superfamily of von Willebrand factor A (VWA) containing proteins. It is primarily expressed in cartilage and functions as a bridging component between proteins of the collagenous matrix. 1-3 The mouse Matrilin-3 cDNA encodes a 481 amino acid...
