Thrombospondin 4
View/Edit Human | View/Edit Mouse |
Thrombospondin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the THBS4 gene.[3][4]
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the thrombospondin protein family. Thrombospondin family members are adhesive glycoproteins that mediate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. This protein forms a pentamer and can bind to heparin and calcium. Studies of the rat counterpart suggest that this protein may be involved in local signaling in the developing and adult nervous system.[4]
