THBS3 thrombospondin 3

Gene ID: 7059, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TSP3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the thrombospondin family. Thrombospondin family members are adhesive glycoproteins that mediate cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. This protein forms a pentameric molecule linked by a single disulfide bond. This gene shares a common promoter with metaxin 1. Alternate splicing results in coding and non-coding transcript variants.
