Fibromodulin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FMOD gene.Fibromodulin is a member of a family of small interstitial proteoglycans containing a central region composed of leucine-rich repeats with 4 keratan sulfate chains flanked by disulfide-bonded terminal domains. It may participate in the assembly of the extracellular matrix as it interacts with type I and type II collagen fibrils and inhibits fibrillogenesis in vitro.
