Matrisome Lists
In-silico prediction of the matrisome - An introduction
Using characteristic features of ECM proteins (signal peptide, modular domain-based organization), we interrogated the genomes of model organisms and identified computationally the ensemble of genes encoding proteins containing these features and inferred their belonging to the ECM. This ensemble of genes constitutes the matrisome.
These genes can further be divided into 1) genes encoding core matrisome proteins, i.e., structural components of the ECM including ECM glycoproteins, collagens, and proteoglycans, and 2) genes encoding matrisome-associated proteins that either share structural features with core matrisome proteins (ECM-affiliated proteins), contribute to the homeostasis or remodeling of the ECM (ECM regulators), or bind to the ECM and modulate ECM signaling (secreted factors).
