A mouse cDNA encoding a novel member of the von Willebrand factor type A-like module
superfamily was cloned. The protein precursor of 956 amino acids consists of a putative
signal peptide, two von Willebrand factor type A-like domains connected by 10 epidermal
growth factor-like modules, a potential oligomerization domain, and a unique segment, and
it contains potential N-glycosylation sites. A sequence similarity search indicated the closest
relation to the trimeric cartilage matrix protein (CMP). Since they constitute a novel protein …
