Official Full Name: thrombospondin 3
Also known as: TSP3
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the blood coagulation response protein family. Members of the thrombospondin family are adhesion glycoproteins that mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. This protein forms a pentameric molecule linked by a single disulfide bond. This gene shares a common promoter with metaxin 1. Alternative splicing leads to variation in coding and noncoding transcripts.
