PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	three epidermal growth factor repeats (E1-E3) at its N-terminus
	a RGD motif
	two discoidin domains (C1, C2) at its C-terminus, contributing to its deposition in the extracellular matrix (Hidai 2007)
	a Del1 deposition domain (DDD), that could immobilize an enzyme in the ECM without interfering with function (Hidai 2009)

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to murine Del1

Homologene

FAMILY

CATEGORY

adhesion

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	in the extracellular matrix (Hidai 2007)
	organized in the extracellular matrix (ECM) via the Del1 deposition domain (DDD) (Hidai 2009)

basic FUNCTION	promoting the adhesion of endothelial cells through interaction with the AVB3 integrin receptor
	putative regulator of vascular morphogenesis or remodeling in embryonic development
	mediates cell attachment, migration, and activation of cytoplasmic signaling molecules in focal contacts (Aoka 2002)
	acts as an angiogenic factor in the context of solid tumor formation and this increase in vascularization accelerates tumor growth through decreased apoptosis (Aoka 2002)
	endogenous inhibitor of inflammatory cell recruitment that could provide a basis for targeting leukocyte-endothelial interactions in disease (Choi 2008)
	may induce apoptosis via its epidermal growth factor motif (Kitano 2010)
	EDIL3, AMOT and ECM1 are involved in the excessive angiogenesis and vasodilation observed in psoriasis

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

unique alpha V beta 3 integrin ligand that is produced by endothelial cells, and thus provides an autocrine signaling pathway in this cell type (Aoka 2002), and play an important role in the process of tumor cells moving from the original place (Niu 2007)
