GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
THBS2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
TSP2
Description
Thrombospondin 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the thrombospondin family. It is a disulfide-linked homotrimeric glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. This protein has been shown to function as a potent inhibitor of tumor growth and angiogenesis. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this protein may modulate the cell surface properties of mesenchymal cells and be involved in cell adhesion and migration. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
