| UniProt functional annotation for P07996 | |||
| UniProt code: P07996. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to- matrix interactions. Binds heparin. May play a role in dentinogenesis and/or maintenance of dentin and dental pulp (By similarity). Ligand for CD36 mediating antiangiogenic properties. Plays a role in ER stress response, via its interaction with the activating transcription factor 6 alpha (ATF6) which produces adaptive ER stress response factors (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11134179, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15014436}. | |
| Subunit: | Homotrimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts (via the TSP type I repeats) with HRG; the interaction blocks the antiangiogenic effect of THBS1 with CD36 (By similarity). Can bind to fibrinogen, fibronectin, laminin, type V collagen and integrins alpha-V/beta-1, alpha-V/beta-3 and alpha-IIb/beta-3. Interacts (via the TSP type I repeats) with CD36; the interaction conveys an antiangiogenic effect. Interacts with ATF6 (via lumenal domain) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6777381}. Cell surface {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6777381}. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6341993}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35441}. Sarcoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35441}. Note=Secreted by thrombin-activated platelets and binds to the cell surface in the presence of extracellular Ca(2+) (PubMed:6777381). Incorporated into the extracellular matrix of fibroblasts (PubMed:6341993). Also detected in the endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum where it plays a role in the ER stress response (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6341993, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6777381}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the thrombospondin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAD93149.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
