FAMILY

matricellular proteins of SPARC family (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine/osteonectin/BM-40)

CATEGORY

regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	matricellular protein

basic FUNCTION	might be involved in the progression of atherosclerosis in aorta
	angiogenic factor that can modulate angiogenic growth factor activity and angiogenesis
	potentiates responses to mitogenic and angiogenic factors including FGF and VEGF
	might associated with pulmonary function by playing an important role in the determination of FEV (ETS oncogene family) and FVC
	promotes keratinocyte attachment and migration and acts as a regulator of cell-matrix interactions
	a role for Smoc-2 in growth control, activation of Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILK) and cyclin D1 expression
	a role in cell cycle by maintaining ILK activity during G1 and involved in mediating the mitogenic and angiogenic
	effects of growth factors such as VEGF, PDGF, and FGF
	exhibits pro-angiogenic properties and stimulates cell cycle progression via integrin-linked kinase
	a novel transcriptional target of activated Aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), has a possible role in embryonic gonad development
	with SMOC1 are matricellular proteins thought to influence growth factor signaling, migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis
	may mediate intercellular signaling and cell type-specific differentiation during gonad and reproductive tract development
	regulate interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix
	potential role in linking the extracellular matrix with the intracellular effector ILK
	particularly important for dental development but does not play a major role in eye and limb development
