Gene: [17q2133/CHAD] chondroadherin;

COM

Using a cosmid clone spanning the CHAD gene, Grover et al. assigned the gene to 17q21.33 by PCR analysis of human/hamster somatic cell hybrids and by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Grover-1997)."

FUN

Chondroadherin is a 36-kD matrix protein which mediates chondrocyte-matrix interactions and belongs to the family of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins."
