Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein was purified in a native form from normal adult human articular cartilage. The key steps in the purification scheme were selective extraction with buffer containing EDTA, wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography, and removal of the related protein thrombospon

## Abstract ## Objective To develop a new mouse model for arthritis using cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and to study the role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and __Ncf1__ genes in COMPβinduced arthritis (COMPIA). ## Methods Native (pentameric) and denatured (monomeric) COM
Objective. To determine whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) to produce fragments similar to those found in synovial fluid (SF) from patients with arthritis. Methods. COMP fragments were generated in vitro by treating (a) bovine articular carti
## Abstract Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein has been implicated as an important component of endochondral ossification because of its direct effects on chondrocytes. The importance of this protein for skeletal development and growth has been recently illustrated by the identification of mutatio
Over 70 mutations in the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a large extracellular pentameric glycoprotein synthesized by chondrocytes, have been identified as causing two skeletal dysplasias: multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED/EDM1), and a dwarfing condition, pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH). T
