THSD7A
Thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing protein 7A
Protein Summary
Thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing protein 7A: Plays a role in actin cytoskeleton rearrangement. Thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing protein 7A, soluble form: The soluble form promotes endothelial cell migration and filopodia formation during sprouting angiogenesis via a FAK-dependent mechanism. The protein encoded by this gene is found almost exclusively in endothelial cells from placenta and umbilical cord. The encoded protein appears to interact with alpha(V)beta(3) integrin and paxillin to inhibit endothelial cell migration and tube formation. This protein may be involved in cytoskeletal organization. Variations in this gene may be associated with low bone mineral density in osteoporosis. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
