CC -!- FUNCTION: May be specifically involved in the formation of the nacreous CC layer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10580124, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19679771, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:19679772}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterooligomer; disulfide-linked. Pif97, Pif80, N16 and other CC 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 the CC mantle, which region may be responsible for the nacreous layer CC formation, but only in trace amounts at the mantle edge, which region CC may be responsible for the prismatic layer formation. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10580124}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the N16 matrix protein family. {ECO:0000305}.
