Background: Fibromodulin/FMOD

Fibromodulin (FMOD) is a secreted, 60-70 kDa class II member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family of matrix proteins. It is expressed by a variety of cell types, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts and chrondrocytes, and is known to bind to type I and XII collagen, plus TGF-beta (1, 2). FMOD is posited to displace lumican binding to collagen, generating 3D collagen fibrils from simple lumican-induced collagen dimers (3). Mature human FMOD is 358 amino acids (aa) in length (aa 19-376). It contains a sulfated N-terminal complement C1q binding domain (aa 19-98) and 12 Leu-rich repeats (LRRs) (aa 98-376), with the LRR5-7 and LRR11 responsible for collagen type I binding (2 - 4). Fibromodulin contains varying amounts of keratan sulfate, and undergoes significant tyrosine sulfation (5). Over aa 76-376, human Fibromodulin shares 96% aa identity with mouse and rat Fibromodulin. Recent study has shown that FMOD can induce glioma cell migration and invasion by promoting actin cytoskeleton remodeling (6).
