Facts about Olfactomedin-like protein 3.
Acts by easing the association between the tolloid proteases and their substrate chordin (CHRD), resulting in boost chordin (CHRD) degradation (By similarity). May have matrix-related function involved in placental and embryonic development, or play a similar role in other physiological processes.

Abundant in placenta, moderate in liver and heart, whereas fairly weak in other tissues examined. On term placenta, mainly localized extracellularly surrounding the syncytiotrophoblastic cells and very rarely expressed in the maternal decidua layer.
Secreted.




PMID: 15280020 by Zeng L.-C., et al. hOLF44, a secreted glycoprotein with distinct expression pattern, belongs to an uncharacterized olfactomedin-like subfamily newly identified by phylogenetic analysis.
