Background
thrombospondin 2(THBS2) Homo sapiens 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.

Function
disease:Genetic variations in THBS2 may be a cause of susceptibility to lumbar disk herniation (LDH) [MIM:603932]. LDH is the predominant cause of low-back pain and unilateral leg pain.,function:Adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. Can bind to fibrinogen, fibronectin, laminin and type V collagen.,similarity:Belongs to the thrombospondin family.,similarity:Contains 1 TSP C-terminal (TSPC) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 TSP N-terminal (TSPN) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 VWFC domain.,similarity:Contains 3 EGF-like domains.,similarity:Contains 3 TSP type-1 domains.,similarity:Contains 8 TSP type-3 repeats.,subunit:Homotrimer; disulfide-linked.,tissue specificity:High expression in invertebral disk tissue.,
