GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 628708
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Zp4
Name: zona pellucida glycoprotein 4
Acc ID: GO:0062023
Term: collagen-containing extracellular matrix
Definition: An extracellular matrix consisting mainly of proteins (especially collagen) and glycosaminoglycans (mostly as proteoglycans) that provides not only essential physical scaffolding for the cellular constituents but can also initiate crucial biochemical and biomechanical cues required for tissue morphogenesis, differentiation and homeostasis. The components are secreted by cells in the vicinity and form a sheet underlying or overlying cells such as endothelial and epithelial cells.
Definition Source(s): GOC:BHF, GOC:rph, PMID:21123617
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
