General description

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP, Thrombospondin-5, TSP5) is a member of the thrombospondin gene family. COMP is usually found in the extracellular matrix and is regularly linked to cartilage tissue. COMP seems to protect chondrocytes against cell death, whether tumor necrosis factor alpha is present or not. Defects in COMP are the cause of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 1 and pseudoachondroplasia.

Immunogen

Human cartilage oligometric matrix recombinant protein.
