Von Willebrand factor A (vWFA) domain-related protein (WARP) is a 50kD glycoprotein member of the vWFA domain superfamily of extracellular matrix proteins. It is expressed in embryonic articular cartilage, skeletal muscle and basement membranes in the PNS. WARP forms disulfide-linked homodimers and multimers, and complexes with perlecan. Secreted human WARP contains a vWFA domain (aa34-213), two fibronectin type III domains (aa211-301 and 331-421) that likely bind to the GAG modification of perlecan, and one potential site for N-linked glycosylation. There is one alternate start site at Met213. Mature human WARP is 72% aa identical to mature mouse and rat WARP.
