General Information
Term cuticular extracellular matrix ID (Ontology) GO:0060102 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A collagen and cuticulin-based noncellular, multilayered structure that is synthesized by an underlying ectodermal (hypodermal) cell layer. The cuticle serves essential functions in body morphology, locomotion, and environmental protection. An example of this component is found in Caenorhabditis elegans.[ PubMed:12619137 ]
Also Known As "collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle extracellular matrix" ; "cuticular ECM"
