Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein as a marker of progressive liver fibrosis in biliary atresia

Abstract This study aimed to determine whether mRNA and protein levels of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a glycoprotein responsible for modulating homeostasis of extracellular matrix, in the systemic and local liver environments were associated with clinical parameters of biliary atresi...
