Protein name Proteoglycan 4 (Lubricin) (Megakaryocyte-stimulating factor) (Superficial zone proteoglycan) [Cleaved into: Proteoglycan 4 C-terminal part]
Protein function Plays a role in boundary lubrication within articulating joints. Prevents protein deposition onto cartilage from synovial fluid by controlling adhesion-dependent synovial growth and inhibiting the adhesion of synovial cells to the cartilage surf
