| basic FUNCTION
| involved in cellular growth control and differentiation |
|
cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate |
|
putative cell surface coreceptor for growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins, proteases and anti-proteases |
|
playing a role in enchondral ossification and long-bone elongation (Campos-Xavier 2009) |
|
astrocyte-secreted signals sufficient to induce functional synapses between purified retinal ganglion cell neurons  |
|
GPC4 and GPC6 are astrocyte-derived molecules necessary and sufficient to promote glutamate receptor clustering and receptivity and to induce the formation of postsynaptically functioning CNS synapses |
