SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,granule
text	matrix protein

basic FUNCTION	matrix protein, involved in platelet aggregation, embryogenesis, morphogenesis, cell adhesion molecule
	major activator of TGFB1
	may play an important role in antitumor immunity
	regulator of tumor growth and metastasis
	can utilizes a novel pathway for its antiangiogenic effect independent of CD36, and suppresses the cell cycle
	play a biologically significant role in tumor vascularization in Ewing's sarcoma (EWS/FLI1 regulates tumor angiogenesis in Ewing's sarcoma via suppression of thrombospondins)
	acting by sequestering and consequently inactivating angiogenic activity of VEGFA
	critical effector of SSTR2 tumor-suppressive activity on pancreatic tumor growth and angiogenesis
	modulates the angiogenic phenotype of cerebral arteriovenous malformation endothelial cells
	endothelial-derived THBS1 activates islet TGFB1 of importance for beta-cells (PMID;
	highly conserved matricellular protein regulating inflammation, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling
	role of THBS1 in hyperleptinemia-induced atherosclerotic complications '
	matricellular protein that have been shown to regulate cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix remodeling

CELLULAR PROCESS

cell communication

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

coagulation/hemostasis , development

text	homeostasis of the lung

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

protein constituent of the extracellular matrix

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	fibrinogen, fribronectin, laminin, collagen type 5, integrin alpha 5 beta1
	interacting with PRMT6 (directly regulates the THBS1 promoter activity and THBS1 is a transcriptional repression target of PRMT6)
	interacting with ADAMTS13 (THBS1 played competitively inhibitory role in ADAMTS13 binding and cleaving of VWF, and the potential competition might happen within A2 and A3 domains)
	new role for THBS1 and CD36 in the activation of the KDR signaling pathway that requires SYK
	PTPRJ functions as a receptor for THBS1 and mediates its inhibition of cell growth
	NOL7 is a tumor suppressor that induces an antiangiogenic phenotype and suppresses tumor growth, in part through upregulation of THBS1
	negative function of PRMT6 on invasion and migration of cancer cells through up-regulation of THBS1 and down-regulation of MMP2 and MMP9
	THBS1-CD36 tandem is another platelet ligand-receptor axis contributing to the maintenance of a stable thrombus
	SEMA3F functions as an unconventional SEMA3 that promotes extraembryonic angiogenesis by inhibiting the MYC-regulated synthesis of THBS1 in visceral yolk sac epithelial cells
