Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Collagen triple helix repeat; Collagen trimerization domain; Collagenase NC10 and Endostatin; C-type lectin-like/link domain superfamily; Collagen type XV/XVIII, trimerization domain; Collagenase NC10/endostatin; C-type lectin fold; and Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies). Is an ortholog of C. elegans
bli-2 and members of the C. elegans dpy and col gene classes including
dpy-13 and
col-19. In C. elegans,
bli-2 is involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle development.
