Pisani et al (2004, 2005) have described myodulin as a membrane-bound factor showing sequence homology with cartilage-specific chondromodulin-1. It is a putative angiogenesis factor in muscle, operating through direct cell-to-cell interactions and plays a very active role in the invasive action of endothelial cells.
Myodulin is identical with tenomodulin and has been described independently as ChM1L [Chondromodulin-1 like protein].
