Summary
HSPG2 (heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2, HGNC:5273) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p36.12, encoding Basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate proteoglycan core protein (P98160). Integral component of basement membranes.
This gene encodes the perlecan protein, which consists of a core protein to which three long chains of glycosaminoglycans (heparan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate) are attached. The perlecan protein is a large multidomain proteoglycan that binds to and cross-links many extracellular matrix components and cell-surface molecules. It has been shown that this protein interacts with laminin, prolargin, collagen type IV, FGFBP1, FBLN2, FGF7 and transthyretin, etc., and it plays essential roles in multiple biological activities. Perlecan is a key component of the vascular extracellular matrix, where it helps to maintain the endothelial barrier function. It is a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and is thus thought to help maintain vascular homeostasis. It can also promote growth factor (e.g., FGF2) activity and thus stimulate endothelial growth and re-generation. It is a major component of basement membranes, where it is involved in the stabilization of other molecules as well as being involved with glomerular permeability to macromolecules and cell adhesion. Mutations in this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 1, Silverman-Handmaker type of dyssegmental dysplasia, and tardive dyskinesia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Integral component of basement membranes. Component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), responsible for the fixed negative electrostatic membrane charge, and which provides a barrier which is both size- and charge-selective. It serves as an attachment substrate for cells. Plays essential roles in vascularization. Critical for normal heart development and for regulating the vascular response to injury. Also required for avascular cartilage development. In muscle, it is essential for localizing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ), most probably acting as an adapter that links the acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide (COLQ) to alpha-dystroglycan, and is therefore involved in the down-regulation of colinergic synaptic transmission. Anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor peptide that inhibits endothelial cell migration, collagen-induced endothelial tube morphogenesis and blood vessel growth in the chorioallantoic membrane. Blocks endothelial cell adhesion to fibronectin and type I collagen. Anti-tumor agent in neovascularization. Interaction with its ligand, integrin alpha2/beta1, is required for the anti-angiogenic properties. Evokes a reduction in phosphorylation of receptor tyrosine kinases via alpha2/beta1 integrin-mediated activation of the tyrosine phosphatase, PTPN6. Has anti-angiogenic properties that require binding of calcium ions for full activity.
Subunit / interactions. Has a strong tendency to aggregate in dimers or stellate structures. Interacts with other basement membrane components such as laminin, prolargin and collagen type IV. Interacts with COL13A1. Interacts with FGFBP1. Interacts with VWA1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with ECM1 (via C-terminus). Interacts with SVEP1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with alpha-dystroglycan; the interaction is required for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) localization at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). Interacts with the acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide (COLQ).
Subcellular location. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix. Basement membrane.
Tissue specificity. Detected in cerebrospinal fluid, fibroblasts and urine (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. Proteolytic processing produces the C-terminal angiogenic peptide, endorepellin. This peptide can be further processed to produce the LG3 peptide. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Contains three heparan sulfate chains. Also contains chondroitin sulfate.
Disease relevance. Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS1) [MIM:255800] Rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by permanent myotonia (prolonged failure of muscle relaxation) and skeletal dysplasia, resulting in reduced stature, kyphoscoliosis, bowing of the diaphyses and irregular epiphyses. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Dyssegmental dysplasia Silverman-Handmaker type (DDSH) [MIM:224410] The dyssegmental dysplasias are rare, autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasias with anisospondyly and micromelia. There are two recognized types: the severe, lethal DDSH and the milder Rolland-Desbuquois form. Individuals with DDSH also have a flat face, micrognathia, cleft palate and reduced joint mobility, and frequently have an encephalocoele. The endochondral growth plate is short, the calcospherites (which are spherical calcium-phosphorus crystals produced by hypertrophic chondrocytes) are unfused, and there is mucoid degeneration of the resting cartilage. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous. Has been found in the urine of patients with end-stage renal disease and in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women with premature rupture of fetal membranes.
