Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protei

Cell surface proteoglycan (PubMed:14610063). Negatively regulates the hedgehog signaling pathway when attached via the GPI-anchor to the cell surface by competing with the hedgehog receptor PTC1 for binding to hedgehog proteins (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in placenta (at protein level) (PubMed:32337544). Highly expressed in lung, liver and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32337544, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8589713}.
