Description: THBS1 is also known as Thrombospondin 1, TSP1. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of a disulfide-linked homotrimeric protein. It is an adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. Also this protein can bind to fibrinogen, fibronectin, laminin, type V collagen and integrins alpha-V/beta-1. This protein has been shown to play roles in platelet aggregation, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis. In addition, the thrombospondin-1 protein is a member of the thrombospondinfamily. It is a multi-domain matrix glycoprotein that has been shown to be a natural inhibitor of neovascularization and tumorigenesis in healthy tissue. Both positive and negative modulation of endothelial cell adhesion, motility, and growth have been attributed to TSP1. This should not be surprising considering that TSP1 interacts with at least 12 cell adhesion receptors, including CD36, ?v integrins, ?1 integrins, syndecan, and integrin-associated protein (IAP or CD47). It also interacts with numerous proteases involved in angiogenesis, including plasminogen, urokinase, matrix metalloproteinase, thrombin, cathepsin, and elastase.

Immunogen: Recombinant human protein (amino acids N19-A268) was used as the immunogen for the THBS1 antibody.
