Gene: THBS3

Alternate names for this Gene: TSP3

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q22

Description of this Gene: thrombospondin 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
