DiseaseWagner vitreoretinopathy (WGVRP) [MIM:143200]: A rare vitreoretinopathy characterized by an optically empty vitreous cavity with fibrillary condensations and a preretinal avascular membrane. Other optical features include progressive chorioretinal atrophy, perivascular sheating, subcapsular cataract and myopia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16043844, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22739342}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The pathological mechanism involves a quantitave imbalance of the normally occurring splice variants (PubMed:22739342). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22739342}.
FunctionMay play a role in intercellular signaling and in connecting cells with the extracellular matrix. May take part in the regulation of cell motility, growth and differentiation. Binds hyaluronic acid.

Subcellular LocationSecreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.
SubunitInteracts with FBLN1. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue SpecificityCerebral white matter and plasma. Isoform V0 and isoform V1 are expressed in normal brain, gliomas, medulloblastomas, schwannomas, neurofibromas, and meningiomas. Isoform V2 is restricted to normal brain and gliomas. Isoform V3 is found in all these tissues except medulloblastomas.
