Enables transforming growth factor beta binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol efflux; cholesterol homeostasis; and neuron projection development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ciliary body morphogenesis; negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; and telencephalon development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including olfactory epithelium and skin. Orthologous to human TSKU (tsukushi, small leucine rich proteoglycan).
