Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: C-type lectin-like/link domain superfamily; Collagenase NC10/endostatin; Collagenase NC10 and Endostatin; and C-type lectin fold. Is an ortholog of C. elegans bli-2 and members of the C. elegans dpy and col gene classes including dpy-13 and col-19. In C. elegans, bli-2 is involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle development.
