Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Collagen trimerization domain; C-type lectin fold; Collagen type XV/XVIII, trimerization domain; Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies); Collagenase NC10/endostatin; Collagen triple helix repeat; C-type lectin-like/link domain superfamily; and Collagenase NC10 and Endostatin. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
ram-2;
mec-5; and
cle-1. In C. elegans,
bli-2 is involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle development.
