CC -!- FUNCTION: May be specifically involved in the formation of the CC nacreous layer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10580124, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19679771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19679772}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterooligomer; disulfide-linked. Pif97, Pif80, N16 and CC other proteins form a complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19679771}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular CC matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10580124}. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Component of conchiolin, the organic matrix of CC nacre. Expressed at extremely high levels in the dorsal region of CC the mantle, which region may be responsible for the nacreous layer CC formation, but only in trace amounts at the mantle edge, which CC region may be responsible for the prismatic layer formation. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10580124}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the N16 matrix protein family. CC {ECO:0000305}.
