THBS2
geneOn this page
Also known as TSP2
Summary
THBS2 (thrombospondin 2, HGNC:11786) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q27, encoding Thrombospondin-2 (P35442). Adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions.
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. Adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions. Ligand for CD36 mediating antiangiogenic properties.
Subunit / interactions. Homotrimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts (via the TSP type I repeats) with CD36; the interaction conveys an antiangiogenic effect. Interacts (via the TSP type I repeats) with HRG; the interaction blocks the antiangiogenic effect of THBS2 with CD36. Can bind to fibrinogen, fibronectin, laminin and type V collagen.
Tissue specificity. High expression in invertebral disk tissue.
Disease relevance. Intervertebral disc disease (IDD) [MIM:603932] A common musculo-skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic-like, 3 (EDSCLL3) [MIM:620865] A form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, articular hypermobility, and tissue fragility. EDSCLL3 is an autosomal dominant form. Affected individuals have joint hypermobility, frequent joint dislocations, atrophic scarring, prolonged bleeding time and age-related aortic dilatation and rupture. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the thrombospondin family.
