CATEGORY

adhesion

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
text	located mainly in the cytoplasm of several cell types in the liver, and also in the extracellular matrix of the skin

basic FUNCTION	may be mediating adhesion by cell surface integrin binding
	promoting cell adhesion and cytoplasmic spreading of dermal fibroblasts and accelerating the assembly of collagen into fibrils
	may be one of the regulators used to remodel the uterine extracellular matrix for pregnancy
	can play various roles in different tissues and might be a molecule related to carcinogenesis and the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma via possible interaction with TGF-beta1 and other potential mechanisms
	promotes fibronectin fibril formation probably by changing the fibronectin conformation
	has an accelerating role in fibroblast cell adhesion to the provisional matrix in the initial stage of wound healing
	first non-integrin protein that can activate Fibronectin (FN) and induce FN fibril formation, and in a context of FN activation, may help a wound to heal by accumulating in the wound either from the surrounding ECM or from the serum
	acidic extracellular matrix (ECM) protein that plays a critical role in both ECM structure and wound healing

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	proteoglycan binding
	binding to decorin
	downstream target of vitamin D receptor
	promotes strong epidermal cell adhesion via alpha3beta1 integrin and syndecan
	interacted with Fibronectin (FN) and fibrin and enhanced the cell adhesion activity of FN
	a binding site in DPT for FN1 was identified as the DPT-4 (PHGQVVVAVRS) peptide, and the major binding site in FN1 for DPT was the 14th type III repeat (III14) domain
